Hi Scott: Had a long, good appt. with my pdoc today, going over all my meds and why I'm taking them and what they do. See my comments below in caps. Thanks for taking the time to put in your thoughts.

> I tried Latuda at 40 mg/day. It made me feel like a zombie. I discontinued it after a week. If I go back to it, I would try 20 mg/day. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE FUN, THE ZOMBIE THING--UGH. MY PDOC IS KEEPING ME AT 20MG, AS SHE SAID IT CAN CAUSE DISSOCIATIVE FEELINGS AND THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE AND ESPECIALLY NOT FOR THOSE WITH PTSD.
