Over the past months, my doc and I have been slowly decreasing my Latuda dosage. I started at 80mg, and as of today I am down to 20mg.

During this time I have noticed absolutely no change in my symptoms. Stable as a rock through it all. If anything there’s been a slight uptick in my expressiveness and lowering of emotional flatness. But hardly any, if at all - might be just in my head. Zero depression, zero mania.

I’m beginning to suspect that Latuda helped me years ago while in an acute depressive episode, but in reality I don’t think it’s doing a thing for me now. The only way to know for sure is to go to zero, and that will probably come next month.

Anyone here have experiences coming off Latuda entirely? Any withdrawal or improvement of symptoms after stopping? I’m not cross-titrating with another med, just slowly on my way to zero. Hopefully it’ll continue to go well.
