That'd be my guess

Also, I thought 40mg of Latuda is a therapeutic dose. Will your pdoc up your dose? 20mg did nothing for me
Forty mg of latuda make me flat and sleepy, so we reduced it to 20 mg with the idea of eliminating it altogether. But it seems to be working in conjunction with the Abilify just fine, so my psychiatrist wants me to keep it. The dosage appears to be correct for me. I'm just concerned about any risks involved with taking Abilify an Latuda together.

Thanks for responding.
