Unfortunately after more than a year on it I developed Akesthesia and have tapered down to 20mg. So far, so good. I am feeling all emotions more acutely (I think normally) and I have some anxiety but manageable. Latuda made me sleepy when I first started it but that side effect went away in about a week. I’ve gained about 8lbs on it and am struggling to get those off. At only 5’2” 8lbs actually makes a substantial difference in how my body feels.
I feel you. I am 5'7" and the 8 lbs I gained on Geodon made a big difference for me as well. It took a lot of work to get it back under control. I imagine it hits you even harder at 5'2"
