Has anyone had panic attacks while taking Latuda?

My doctor prescribed Latuda for me just a few months ago. It used to help me fall asleep. Now, I feel wired, agitated, my thoughts start racing into every possible nightmare scenario that can befall me or the people around me, and I have panic attacks and can't sleep at all. I'm horribly physically agitated all day as well.

Has anyone experienced this with Latuda?

YES I am having the exact same problem with latuda. I started taking it two months ago and have had nothing but anxiety and misery since. I have the physical agitation as well. Always fidgeting. And all I can think about is everything that can go wrong at any time. I'm tapering off. I gave it a good try, two months, but it's just not getting better and I can't live like this. It's horrible.

I got really anxious and agitated. I came off it in the end because I felt worse on it.

I struggle with severe anxiety, but I was on Latuda for about 18 months and it did not increase my anxiety. I had to stop taking it because of tardive dyskenesia symptoms.

I started Latuda in July. I had an increase of anxiety for the first few weeks but it went away. I don't have any side effects from it now.

Nope but I had the same thing with a medication of the same class. Unfortunately those meds strip me off my mental skin leaving me all raw to the world. I kept pushing taking the med to be a good patient to the point I had around the clock panic and couldn't eat or drink. It took me a few months off the med to start feeling OK again. Your doc needs to know about this. It can happen when you strip your system off dopamine.
