has anyone taken both? the new prescriber at the clinic mentioned lowering the abilify and then a switch to low dose latuda. im wondering...why?!?! i am prone to bad depression, but the abilify takes the agitation component out and it doesn't make the depression worse at my current dose.
so, i dont know. plus, ive been on abilify for a long time because other 'atypicals' triggered eps and/or akathisia. i had a bit of tremor on abilify before i started adding in massive doses of supplements, but...even then, it was easier to tolerate than the other tranquilizers. so, all i could come up with was that abilify's d2 partial agonism is what made it easier to tolerate...not that it was a walk in the park, but it wasn't hell on earth like, say, zyprexa. ok. thanks. :-) |

Have you taken Geodon in the past? Latuda is a relative of Geodon so you can predict your side effects to Latuda if you have taken Geodon.
