kittyloaf Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I follow some mental illness blogs on Tumblr, and today somebody was talking about Latuda. Somebody else mentioned terrible anxiety after taking Latuda and it dawned on me that I might be experiencing that too. It's the only drug I take at night (at dinner) and I have terrible night anxiety most nights. Just at night though, when I wake up I'm fine in the morning. I've been dealing with this night anxiety for at least a year with Ativan, and I've been on Latuda for a year and a half. I plan on talking with my psych nurse practitioner when I see her in a week and a half, but in the meantime has anyone experienced anything like this with Latuda?

HaloGirl66PartDeux Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I took my second dose last night and I got up and walked around my apartment because I was so agitated. I'm only at 20 mg and titrating up. -M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancesintherain Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 this might be a stretch, but I went hypo and then manic and the agitation came along with it. It wasn't purely anxiety though, so maybe too different to be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniliscious Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 One day, I noticed that I too got anxious after taking Latuda. It even got to the point where I was trembling and becoming extremely restless at night. It turned out that Latuda was causing me akasthesia. My doctor put me on Cogentin 1mg once a day to go with the medication. The anxiety, trembles and restlessness all went away since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browri Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yep this DEFINITELY happened to me. I felt borderline panicky. But like you said, during the day...no issue. Just right after you take it in the evening. However, this did go away sort of once I got into the higher doses that sedated you. 10mg-20mg is more stimulating and 40mg-60mg+ is more sedating.
