I'm now officially weaned off Latuda (they say it takes 4 days to get it completely out of your system, and it's been 4 days since my last small dose).

I'm feeling frustrated. My usual "baseline" is chipper and hopeful. I feel kind of agitated and I do have some reasons to feel that way, but I'm usually better at staying hopeful and happy in spite of minor circumstances. My OCD is a bit flared up, too.

I read up on it, and it's common for Latuda withdrawal to cause depression or agitation.

I have no idea how long it will take me to "normalize." I took Latuda for (I think) at least 3 years at a high dose (120 mg).

Anybody wean off an AP and have withdrawal effects? How long did it take for withdrawal effects to go away? TIA!!

I can't recal any withdrawal symptoms over AP, mood stabilizers and AD yes.
