Good for you! Glad you've been able not only to give lurasidone a shot, but also to stick it out for a few weeks and not panic and drop it at the first sign of discomfort.
That is, far be it from me to push anyone into taking more meds just for its own sake, but I think it's extremely important to be an informed consumer and to try to seek relief if you and pdoc agree that a new med might help.
Good luck.
