Risperidal was somewhat effective for me at 2mg... although I didn't want to go any higher because it already made me sleep 12 hours a day & be a bit unmotivated even at that low dose.

I'm always shocked at people being on high dose APs... I seem to be quite sensitive to them.

It sucks your insurance doesn't cover Latuda though.
