So did your doctor take you off the Latuda or keep you on it ? Normally, as stated in the material they give you that rarely anyone reads, Lithium is supposed to be paired with another BiPolar/AntiPsychotic (Latuda, Serpquel, etc). May be something you bring up with him when you see him next.

Thank you for your response! My psychiatrist took me off the Latuda. I will ask him about this next time I see him. I appreciate your support
