My gradual nightmare was to begin with Lurasidone perseverance over 8 months. I experienced Severe restlessness (Akathisia) night sweats, heart racing and palpitations limb jerking going to pee every twenty minutes at night, pacing restless legs. Had to return to Olanzapine which for me is like taking smarties in comparison apart from weight gain. Olanzapine being the only med that works for me.
Anyone had bad experiences with Lurasidone (Lauda)?

Hi, CMT!
No, I didn't have any side effects but unfortunately it didn't work all that well for me. Back to Vraylar despite the $$$$$ because that's the only medication that is effective for me. I've been on them all including olanzapine but the weight gain was dangerously high.
