I started Latuda in 2024 for bipolar disorde, and it changed my life. I was only on 20mg and my depression was gone, my mania was gone, everything was great. then in march 2025, I had a really traumatic greening out experience, so my psychiatrist slowly built me up to 80MG because she thought I was psychotic. I wasn’t, just had ptsd. I stayed on 80mg of Latuda until the end of 2025, when my new psychiatrist immediately started dropping my dose because I had bad facial td. When my original psychiatrist put me on 80mg, she never told me the risks. I’m back down to 20mg because it genuinely helps me, but I NEVER should have been on 80mg and now I will suffer the consequences of someone else’s decisions for the rest of my life. I’m on daily 60mg of ingrezza, which helps, but if I miss even a single day it all comes back. I blink so rapidly and constantly it can be hard to see and I’m scared to drive, I chew the inside of my mouth until it’s raw and bloody, and I stutter and fumble over my words in ways I never used to. I feel like a part of my life has been destroyed.
