Hi
Thanks for healthcare magic

Latuda is antipsychotic and at higher dose it cause sedation, nausea, parkinson kind of symptoms. What ever happened with you, may be due to drug side effect. You can discuss all this with your psychiatrist and ask him to change the drug if you are not comfort with it.

Thanks
