Talk to your doctor. It's a possible side effect.

Anything new should be discussed with your doc when starting a new med.

I've had this before. But it wasn't from Latuda and I've never been on Zyprexa. So it could very well be a side effect. I agree with whats been said, talk to your pdoc.

Well, check with your doc anyway, it might be tardive dyskinesia and it might become permanent

Experiencing these as well as "lock jaw" and recently started latuda.... rough day in outpatient felt like miniature panic attacks.. there taking me off klonopins after 2 years rather quick. Last night was first night with 0 klonopins. ...... felt like I got hit by a bus this morning... no mental addiction. .. heavy physical addiction...

I experience miserable muscle spasms and I assume they're side-effects. Potassium is supposed to help. Even eating a banana every day is supposed to provide a good amount of potassium.
