I agree, APs are scary. I've been on Latuda 2 or 3 years, and it has been a life saver for me. It really helps prevent or at least lessen the severity of my depressions. Nothing else has worked for me. It's been very weight neutral. Only side effect I get is what I suspect is akathisia. I get around it by taking it bedtime and being on such a strict sleep schedule that I can get to sleep within about an hour before it kicks in. Good luck. Hope it is good to you.
