It's funny I'm debating either Geodon or Latuda to boost my celexa.
I'm hoping it will help with social/sexual/relationship withdrawl; and help with affect stabilization, plus inherent feelings of paranoia.
Abilify did some of this, but I stopped b.c. it gave me muscle weakness to the point where I couldn't exercise; plus I found it hard to care about anyone (scary!).
Doc said the muscle weakness was probably from the dopaminergic effects of abilify and that Geodon apparently doesn't impact dopamine at all. We are concerned that it could agitate me. We haven't ruled out BPII.
On the other hand, I'm fearful Latuda would have the same muscle weakness side effects.
Has anyone heard of these muscle weakness side effects with these? Does it seem ridiculous to medicate yourself out of sexual/relationship disinterest? Being around people has made me so uncomfortable I fear I may have just given up on some level and lost my drive.
Sorry to hijack the thread but y'all seem to have some opinion on the two drugs I'm considering.
Thanks!
