I've had dystonic reactions to both Latuda and (especially) Abilify. From what I've read here, it's common to have dystonic reactions and especially akathesia from those 2 meds. Medication is so difficult when you're sensitive to side effects, even at low doses. I am, too. It seems that the best way to handle it is to creep up slowly on the dose. Some pdoc prescribe these huge doses right off the bat and of course, the side effects are daunting.

Anyway, I hope the Abilify works for you. Might be interesting to do the gene testing, either way.
