So, yesterday I hit bottom HARD! As you guys know I've been taking Latuda for a little over two weeks now. I started at 20mg for two days, then 40mg for a week, and now I've been on 60mg for a week. The akathisia started about Tuesday evening. I had no idea what it was. It has progressively gotten worse and yesterday was insane. I had been taking a few of my husbands Propronolol pills because I read online that it can help. I went to my therapists office yesterday and actually had to leave because I couldn't sit still and was miserable, and also because I took something she said personally. I don't know if I would have usually taken that personally if it wasn't for the akathisia. It makes me nutty.

So, I called my pdoc when I got home practically crying. She called me back and actually had the Latuda rep in her office! They said the first line of defense is Propronolol and she called me in a high dose of 30mg x 3 a day. The Latuda rep said that it slowly goes away. Is that true, or are they lying? I personally am considering not taking it this morning or here after. It's disappointing too since I thought it was helping me mentally.

BTW, I had to have my husband come home from work yesterday because I couldn't be alone and cried all last evening! He hasn't seen me like that in a loooong time!
