My doctor gave me Latuda 80mgs and I had to stop taking it because of the Jitters, bad anxiety, and the shakes. He also has me on cogentin 1mg it isn't working. I sorry if this has been discussed. I just joined the boards tonight. Has anyone gotten any help with these side effects? Thank you in advance!!

I had to stop Latuda at a much lower dose because it was causing almost painful tension in my muscles. Not so much shaking as I would wake up and feel like all my muscles had been tensed up all night. I think I never got past a 20 mg dose and was only on it for about 3 days. My pdoc switched me to Abilify, which is working much better for me.

I took Latuda 20 mg up until last Wednesday, I only stopped due to sore muscles, tightness in the chest, and my husband said I was turning into a B@#$@. I personally liked how mentally i was being lifted with the Latuda. No dark thoughts, or scary thoughts. I was switched to Fetzima, today is my first day on this so I can not comment a of yet
