I'm sorry Latuda eventually gave you akathisia and TD after helping well for a good while. I know how that is. I took Geodon with no side effects for about five years, then got a horrible case of akathisia and had to go off. Honestly, I would even welcome just two years of even more stability, at this point. I know most of us have to have medication changes now and then.
I really hope your TD eventually went away! I imagine your akathisia did. I've had akathisia from various antipsychotics in the past, but it always faded after changing to a med that didn't cause it...at least at first.
