I've noticed since I've been on latuda that my fidgeting habit (which has been gone for years) has returned. I l constantly jiggling my leg, tapping my foot, or rocking in my seat. I can't sit still anymore. And I do it without even realizing that I'm doing it. My sister in law pointed it out to me on Saturday.


And there seems to be an "inner" restlessness too. I am constantly bored. Like I just want to be doing something but I don't know what. I'm even bored while driving. I actually don't do much. I work and then go home and try to nap for an hour but never can, and then I get my son and make him dinner and then that's the extent of my evening. Maybe that's why I'm so intensely bored.


I'm also having trouble sleeping. Not every night but often enough that it's annoying. When I was on 80mg I was acutely anxious, like sick to my stomach anxious every minute of every day. That has subsided since dropping back down to 60mg.


Has anyone had this with latuda? The fidgeting isn't annoying to me, although I'm sure it makes me look a little crazy. But the boredom is horrible. I'm thinking of going to the craft store and getting some yarn and taking up loom knitting again. I quit because I found it pointless but I'll make a few hats and scarves if it will keep me busy.


I have a script for cogentin that I never filled but it's probably expired now, it's two months old. I have a pnurse appt on August 10 where I will mention all of this. I don't know if cogentin would help with the inner restlessness.


The only other thing is I've been getting flashes of nausea a couple hours after taking the latuda. This didn't happen with the samples but I wonder if the pharmacy has a version with a different ingredient in it that's making me sick. It's not terrible but again, annoying.
