Well, we've managed to get me off the Seroquel completely now. I'm taking the Latuda by itself and I've only been doing it now since Monday. I also had a bad week last week and only took my mornings meds once....not good! My house has been insane!!!! Let's see. They put me on a new restless legs med a couple of weeks ago and it ended up not doing a single thing, so I was taking 4 mg of ropinirole and as the doctor had suggested, I was taking it an hour before I took the Latuda. The ropinirole was making me very nauseated. I was also finding it impossible to go to sleep before 5 a.m., but didn't know what was causing that! It could have been several things, so I can't ascribe the insomnia to the Latuda at the moment. I'm able to go through the day, although I feel very jittery inside. The psych said Tuesday that this could be due to the Latuda, but we'll keep an eye on it. My legs and feet are supersensitive during the day, but not like the restless legs problem I have at night. I'm going back to my old restless legs med, Miripex. The family doc has also prescribed me something to take in case the insomnia continues to be a major difficulty. I'm having too many effects right now from various sources to really peg anything much to the Latuda...however, the sleepiness I was having is...obviously....gone now. Hugs to all! Zin |
