I wouldn't take an anti-psychotic unless you really need it to treat the symptoms it is intended to treat. And even then I am on the fence. I have been on Latuda for 2 weeks, since meeting pdocs for the first time in my life. I was given it to treat schizophrenia psychosis. Though I am receiving some benefit from it, I question myself every time I put that pill in my mouth and many nights I get very angry with myself for having taken another dose. The urge to stop taking it altogether is strong, but I know how I am without it.

Like **still_crazy** has said, if you were not experiencing psychosis I would certainly tell the pdocs to go back to the drawing board and come up with safer alternatives for you. I know Latuda is also approved for Bipolar 1 depression but it is such a powerful brain changing substance, who knows what it will do to a person who is depressed and never been psychotic. Just my 2 cents, as I have been anti-drug for all my life and only out of desperation did I decide to try psychoactive drugs.
