My pdoc mentioned Latuda once. He doesn't really want to change antipsychotics since I've been doing so well on my current ones, but he may do it if my cholesterol and other lipids don't come down with my statin. He thinks Zyprexa may be driving those numbers up. But all that won't matter if Medicare doesn't cover Latuda; we had enough trouble getting them to pay for two different APs. At any rate, he won't do anything of the sort while I'm still unstable. It'll be interesting to see how this adjustment plays out.
