Update:
I've been taking Latuda 40mg for 15 days. Then, 30mg for 5 days. The symptoms are down to about 50-60% of what they were. Yesterday, the nurse who works with my pdoc called me. According to what I told her and her expertise, she gave me the okay to go down to 20mg. Still have a bit of symptoms but I know they will calm down in 4-5 days due to the life of this medicine being 126 hours. I have to call her on Aug. 6 to tell her how it's going. If I want, I can go down even more if I feel like it because the rest of the medication is still there in support. She's now worried about going off it completely but gradually. I've explained to her that I've read about the withdrawal symptoms on a website :
Latuda (Lurasidone) Withdrawal Symptoms + How Long Do They Last? - Mental Health Daily
I'm glad this situation is improving and hope to see more improvement as I go off Latuda.
