Has anyone here stopped Latuda/lurasidone? I feel better without it but I think my move was rash and not recommended

I don't really know anyone using lurasidone, but did you experiencing withdrawal symptoms?

I think the best method for you is to tapering down your lurasidone. Based on here and here I'd suggest a really long and slow withdrawal to ensure you relapse to it.

I really didn't like the restless anxious feeling I got after taking it. I had to get up and walk around, my tongue couldn't rest in my mouth. I felt like shit before it and during so it didn't seem to change anything. I'm still so suicidal that if I told professionals they'd lock me up. But I am physically more comfortable without it. It's been 3 days and I was taking 60mg

Oh same experience with me. I am prescribed aripiprazole (antipsychotic, same class as lurasidone) and sometimes my tongue feel numb and felt like shit. But once I get trihexphenydil the symptoms just rarely happens (although its still there)

Here's my recommendation to your situation:
1. I'd suggest to take it trihex to counter the lurasidone side effects. You can consult this to your psychiatrist.
2. Stop it cold turkey style. Dangerous but may work. Please report your condition to your psychiatrist if you try this method.
3. Tapering off like in my first reply.

I have risperidone already prescribed to me. Can I use that as a antimetic? If so, how much do I take before the SN in terms of a 48 hour protocol? Please help!!

I ask because Stan's guide said you could.

Do you know if taking SN with electrolytes (such as gatorade or Powerade) would interact/interfere with the SN absorption process? I know it's not meant to be taken with milk or alcohol due to how it will induce vomit, but I'm not too sure about electrolytes as it's basically clear water with some additional ions.

Do you also happen to know if taking Clonidine maybe 30 minutes before would be a bad idea as well? It is one of the meds that would always effectively make me feel drowsy and drop my blood pressure within an hour, and I thought perhaps this might help with the peacefulness and losing consciousness quicker?

Thank you :)
