Subjective feeling of slowness with Latuda

I have a subjective feeling of slowness with antipsychotics. I'm 26. About 5 months ago, I had my first manic episode while using 100mg of Zoloft (GAD), 40mg of Vyvance (ADHD), and 50mg of trazodone (for sleep). After that, I was on quetiapine, but I didn't tolerate it because I felt derealized or like I was moving slowly and had blurred touch sensation (it was subjective). I was switched to Latuda 20mg (monotherapy, bc rapidly I switched to a depressive phase), and I started to improve my depressive symptoms. Three weeks ago, my Latuda dose was increased to 40mg, and 10 days later, I started experiencing the same symptoms I had with quetiapine. I told my psychiatrist, and he decided to wait and see how my mood develops, since I haven't been diagnosed for very long, I'm new to the course of the disease. Have you experienced this subjective feeling of slowness? Is it normal? This frustrates me a little because my depressive symptoms have improved, but at the same time, I feel slow and have blurred touch sensation
