EPS=extrapyramidal side effects. I get them on Latuda. I have to take Gabapentin to ameliorate them and usually it works pretty well. But the other day I forgot to take Gabapentin at bedtime and next day had a sensation as if my body had been going into a spasm. It was not actually fully going into a spasm, just sort of moving in that direction, and it was such an unpleasant sensation. I took Gabapentin in the middle of the day (normally I take it at bedtime) and took a nap and when I woke up from the nap I was ok.

The trouble is, I am supposed to take Latuda with dinner because you need 350 calories to absorb it. But if I take Gabapentin with dinner, I start falling asleep, and if I take Latuda alone without Gabapentin with dinner, then I start feeling as if my body were going into a spasm and I hate it. So I end up taking Latuda and Gabapentin both at bedtime. Sometimes I eat dinner late so this coincides with taking Latuda with food, but sometimes I eat dinner earlier and I am actually trying now to eat dinner earlier. So I end up taking Latuda a couple of hours after ingesting food. It still seems to work as I do not have bipolar symptoms, so maybe I just happen to absorb Latuda without food. Or maybe there is enough food 2 hours after dinner in the stomach. Maybe as long as it seems to be working, it is OK if I do not follow the prescribed protocol.

But I simply hate this sensation of the body going into a spasm, and especially my limbs.

Does anybody else get it on Latuda or on any other APs?
