I'm experiencing motor restlessness with Latuda and I just started. Now I'm at 40mg, aiming for 60mg. It is in addition to Lexapro for a vegetative depression. I took Ativan but it made me fall asleep. My shrink says Benadryl will work.
Anyone have experience with this side effect? I am wondering if it goes away once my body is used to the dose.

I talked with my psychMD about this yesterday. He said it is common to be overstimulated on Latuda in the beginning. He said that goes away over time. NancyB |

The only side effect I had from Latuda was nausea. My nausea went away after a few weeks.......D.

I had akathisia from another med at the beginning. What helped me was propranolol that was used for both this and that back then. I do they think they are more careful with prescribing it these days though.

I had restless legs when I was on high doses of haldol and seroquel. I took cogentin for it.
