Latuda Withdrawal
The F.D.A. estimates 10% of the people withdrawing off an antidepressant
will not be able to succeed due to withdrawal side effects. Latuda is not
different. If you are one of the lucky 90% that can do a successful Latuda
withdrawal you still need to rebuild your body once off Latuda. This site
provides information what to do for Latuda withdrawal and after Latuda
withdrawal if you were able to succeed on your own.
Let’s take how to have a successful Latuda withdrawal first.
There are two parts that make a successful Latuda withdrawal possible.
How you reduce the Latuda during withdrawal and taking a few
supplements that will help eliminate any Latuda withdrawal side effects.
It does not matter what dosage of Latuda you are taking or how long you
have used Latuda; the reduction of Latuda is the same.

You want to reduce Latuda by no more than 10% and only reduce by an
additional 10% every 2 weeks. This is the safest and most successful way
to become Latuda free and not suffer during withdrawal.
Check with your pharmacist for compounding the Latuda and the best
option. The next best method is to use a pill slicer and a milligram scale.
Get a 7 day pill holder and once a week cut your pills for the coming week.
Roughly 90% of you will be able to complete a Latuda withdrawal using the
method above. However, you will most likely experience flu like symptoms,
headache, brain zaps, anxiety, and insomnia or in some cases extreme
fatigue. These symptoms will normally last 1 or 2 weeks.
In early 1999, we began investigating the use of natural supplements to
help ease withdrawal symptoms. Over the past 20 plus years we have
continued to improve this approach and our success rate is rather high.
With Latuda withdrawal, you should take 4 supplements. JNK Formula
Complete, Neuro Day, Neuro Night and Omega 3 Supreme. In 2018, we
researched the use of THC Free CBD Oil and have found it to be of great
benefit as an additional supplement. We sourced one CBD oil made in the
United States, made in an F.D.A. registered facility, a higher amount of
CBD per serving than most and surprisingly the lowest price by far. It is
called Harper Drops Supreme.
Take the supplements for 1 full week before reducing the Latuda and then
you can begin your Latuda withdrawal reduction. It really can be this
simple.

What is Latuda
Latuda is a prescription medication used to treat depression and anxiety. It
belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs).
The medication takes some time to build up in the body, which is why it can
take a few weeks before people begin noticing a reduction in symptoms of
depression or anxiety. If you suddenly stop taking Latuda, however, you
may experience symptoms of withdrawal. In the United States this
withdrawal is known as Latuda Discontinuation Syndrome but in Europe is
known as Latuda Withdrawal.
Antidepressants are among the most commonly prescribed medications in
tOften, long-term use is linked to fear of relapse of their symptoms
or withdrawal. We have found length of time taking Latuda WILL NOT
determine how easy or difficult it will be for you to accomplish a Latuda
withdrawal.
People experience symptoms of Latuda withdrawal because of the way
SSRI's work in the brain. SSRIs affect the levels of serotonin, a type of
mood-regulating neurotransmitter in the brain. When you abruptly stop
taking your medication, it doesn't give the brain enough time to adjust to
the sudden change.
Whether you are stopping Latuda because it is not working for you or you
are better and you've decided with your doctor that it makes sense to come
off your medication, the quitting process needs to be slow and gradual.
Signs & Symptoms
Recent research has found that the severity of SSRI withdrawal is much
worse than previously believed. On average, about 46% of people
experiencing SSRI withdrawal symptoms describe them as severe. Severe
symptoms indicate that withdrawal can potentially interfere with your ability
to meet responsibilities at home and at work. It was also found that 10% of
the people attempting antidepressant withdrawal, 10% quit the Latuda
withdrawal due to a withdrawal side effect known as brain zaps. The
Omega 3 Supreme used during Latuda withdrawal is formulated to ease
this severe withdrawal side effect.
Most Common Symptoms
The most common symptoms of Latuda withdrawal—occurring in more
than one in four people—are as follows:
Dizziness
Muscle tension
Chills
Confusion
Trouble concentrating
Trouble remembering things
Crying
The most common symptoms of Latuda withdrawal are dizziness, muscle
tension, and chills, which each affect about 44% of users. Many people
also experience confusion and difficulty concentrating. Once again, the
supplements have been formulated to help with these symptoms.
Complete Symptoms
The following is a more complete list of symptoms associated with
withdrawal:
Changes in motor control: Temors, muscle tension, restless legs,
unsteady gait, or difficulty controlling speech and chewing
movements
Digestive issues: Nausea, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, or appetite
loss
Flu-like symptoms: Headache, muscle pain, weakness, and
tiredness.
Instability: Dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty walking
Mood changes: Anxiety, agitation, panic, suicidal ideation,
depression, irritability, anger, mania, or mood swings
Sleep problems: Nightmares, unusual dreams, excessive/vivid
dreams, or insomnia
Unusual sensations: Brain zaps (like an electrical shock or shiver in
your brain), pins and needles, ringing in the ears, strange tastes, or
hypersensitivity to sound
Latuda withdrawal can take a real toll on your life, both physically and
emotionally. Antidepressants like Latuda work by increasing serotonin
levels in your brain. When you stop taking them, it takes your brain a while
to get used to the drug’s absence. Unfortunately, the amount of time this
takes can vary widely.
Latuda withdrawal symptoms typically arrive one to three days after your
last dose. It can start sooner (within hours) or later (more than a week).
This is why most inpatient facilities fail with Latuda withdrawal. Insurance
may pay only 9 days of treatment and by the time you are off the plane
near your city, Latuda withdrawal is back and in full effect. Latuda
withdrawal should never be rushed.
Coping & Relief
The best way to find relief from Latuda withdrawal is to use the
supplements mentioned above, reduce the Latuda gradually and only
continue to reduce when you are feeling very well. If you are still
experiencing symptoms of depression, definitely send us an e-mail and we
will help you adjust supplements and assist you in finding the
cause.
In 1999, our founder, Jim Harper, published a guideline for reducing
medications. That guideline has been adapted to all psychoactive
medications by the drug manufacturers. The most effective way to minimize
symptoms of withdrawal is to slowly taper off your medication.
“Reduce the medication slowly. If withdrawal symptoms begin go back up
to the last dosage you were doing fine at, stay at that dosage until all
withdrawal has subsided. When you continue with withdrawal reduce the
medication slower than the previous reductions.”
Latuda should only be reduced by 10%. Some people will need to reduce
the Latuda by 5%.
Reductions of the Latuda can be made every 7 days or in some cases
every 14 days. Slow and steady wins this race.
Tapering involves adjusting your dose by a small amount, gradually
decreasing until your body gets used to lower levels of the medication. Talk
to your doctor who can then create a dose schedule and carefully monitor
the process to avoid severe symptoms.
Practice Good Self-Care
Taking good care of your health as you stop taking Latuda can also help
you to better manage any withdrawal symptoms that you experience. Some
steps you can take that might help you cope with withdrawal symptoms
include:
Do not change your diet when tapering. This can alter metabolism
rater of the Latuda and create a withdrawal symptom
Follow your doctor's taping recommendations
Get plenty of rest
Get regular mild exercise
Get support from family, friends, or support groups
If you or someone you love shows any of the following signs or symptoms
after stopping or during a Latuda taper, get help:
Becoming preoccupied with death, dying, or violence
Engaging in risky or self-destructive activities, such as driving drunk
Feeling hopeless or trapped
Gathering the means to commit suicide, such as bullets or pills
Getting affairs in order or giving away belongings
Having intense mood swings
Planning how you would commit suicide if you were going to do it
Saying goodbye to people as if it were the last time
Talking or thinking about suicide more than normal, for example, “I wish I were dead”

“Jim, here is my testimonial. Feel free to use however you wish. God
bless you! WARNING: KLONIPIN IS A VERY ADDICTIVE AND
DANGEROUS DRUG SIDE EFFECTS can be serious and harmful to
overall health. WITHDRAWAL from this drug is dangerous and might
very well kill you
This is what any physician should be required to advise patients upon
prescribing Klonopin. I began my journey to Hell a little over 6 years
ago while going through a nasty divorce. I was experiencing major
anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. These symptoms did improve.
However, over the years I developed hypertension and steadily
gained weight which I had never had a problem with. I began taking
Lisinopril for the hypertension.
I made the decision to go off of the Klonopin after seeing my
gynecologist and discussing these issues with her. She said that she
felt the K was the culprit. I asked how to taper, she told me to talk to
my family doctor who prescribed it to me. I was not told of the
horrible withdrawal so I didn't think it would be a big deal. I began
tapering....and did a complete taper within a month. I had been
taking 1 mg 3X daily for 6+ years.
At first I did not attribute my symptoms to the withdrawal. It was
subtle at first, smells and the taste of food was very strange. Hands
and feet numb and tingling. Unable to carry a train of thought and to
complete a task. I googled withdrawal from Klonopin. I was shocked
at what I read. I prayed that I would not experience any of it.....and
really did not think this would happen to "me". Little did I know that I
had just begun my descent into Hell.
I do not feel that I can adequately convey the nightmare. You just
about have to go through it to know what it is like. There are
exceptions, as Jim is proof of. I thank God for his dedication to
overcoming addiction and The Road Back. I will get into this a little
later.
Here is a list of what I experienced, not in order and not to the
degree of each symptom, there is really no way to do so: major
anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia, hot/cold spells, severe
sweating, no appetite, sensitivity to noise/ light/ movement, pain in
extremities, blurred vision, ringing in ears, fullness in head, vertigo,
high bp even on lisinopril, increased heart rate, confusion,
disorientation, de-realization, depersonalization, detachment. I was
completely unable to function.
About two weeks into this horror, my daughter visited and started
researching online. She found The Road Back program. I was
willing to try anything. My husband placed an order for the Neuro
Endure Mini. Of course it would be a few days to receive it which
doesn't seem long. But when you are living a minute to minute
nightmare it is a very long time. And I was not certain it would even
work. I was at the end of my rope. I had not slept in 4 consecutive
days and nights. My heart rate was 130+ constantly. I felt like I was
going to die. My husband thought that since I had read about these
withdrawal symptoms that somehow I should miraculously be
"alright", bc it was "normal" and I would eventually be okay. He told
me to "get a grip". I began to cry, uncontrollably. And scream...it
seemed as though it was not even coming from me. I did not even
feel human, I felt like an alien. I could not take anymore.
My husband drove me to the ER. I was terrified that I would be
committed to the psyche ward. I feared that the doctor would not
understand (who could???)! Thankfully I was wrong. After I had
somehow been talking for quite some time, he finally looked me in the
eye. I did not think I had gotten through to him. He disclosed that his
son had been addicted to K and was hospitalized for seizures. I was
relieved and terrified at the same time. He reassured me that I was
most likely past the seizure stage. He said that kicking the K would
be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but that it would be so
worth it. He did ask me if I wanted to go back on the K, that the
majority of ppl could not make it through withdrawal and went back on
the drug. I will admit that I had thought about it......I somehow found
the courage to say NO. He was concerned about my bp which was
157/124 P132 upon entering hospital. But he did not want to address
it just yet as he felt is was a result of withdrawal. He prescribed a 20
day of Lunesta for sleep. I actually slept for the first time in days.
Thank God for this doctor.
I thought that maybe since I had gotten some sleep that my
symptoms would improve. I was wrong. I thought about Neuro
Endure Mini and began an agonizing wait. I would sit outside and
wait for the delivery, afraid that I would miss it. I was a bit skeptical
as I had the misconception that anything that wasn't prescribed by a
doctor was worthless. But yet I was desperate and this man Jim
Harper really seemed to know his stuff. I finally received my NEM
and had to restrain myself to only take the recommended amount.
I had corresponded with Jim/The Road Back on occasion. This was
my lifeline. He suggested keeping a journal to monitor my reactions
and I did. I am very thankful for this as now that I am better it is a
little difficult for me to remember how debilitated I really was.
After only a few days I increased to 2 capsules 3X daily. On about
day five, I began to catch glimpses of "Jill". Very brief but still........it
was a start. I also began taking the JNK 3 capsules daily, as well as
Omega 3, vitamin E and biotin. It was a slow and steady progression
at first, but praise God I am happy to report that I am feeling human
again. I have control again! I know without a doubt that these
supplements work! It seems like years ago that I first contacted Jim.
Hard to believe it has only been about three months. Most with this
degree of withdrawal report at least a year. I do not think I could
have endured that. Occasionally I have a bad day, and I found that
even 1 glass of wine would set me back. I avoid all alcohol. My bp
and heart rate have returned to normal! I no longer take Lunesta and
I am able to sleep. I am enjoying the things that brought me joy years
ago. I am discovering new and exciting things about myself.
I want to encourage anyone going through withdrawal to Klonopin or
other Benzo drugs to give The Road Back a try. The information and
support is FREE. The supplements saved my life. I read some
reviews about the supplements being expensive. Hello???????? I
would have paid anything to be better, even rehab. The ER doctor
told me that his son had been to rehab several times to no avail. I
cannot confirm or deny rehab treatment as I have not had it. But I
can tell you that the supplements are a mere fraction of the cost of
rehab. I will continue with the NEM until I feel that I am completely
well.
I hope that my experience will help others that find themselves in this
hellish nightmare. I could never thank Jim Harper enough. God
bless him and The Road Back program.”

Latuda Withdrawal
The F.D.A. estimates 10% of the
people withdrawing off an
antidepressant
will not be able to succeed due to
withdrawal side effects. Latuda is not
different. If you are one of the lucky
90% that can do a successful Latuda
withdrawal you still need to rebuild
your body once off Latuda. This site
provides information what to do for
Latuda withdrawal and after Latuda
withdrawal if you were able to
succeed on your own.
Let’s take how to have a successful
Latuda withdrawal first.
If you want to read the short version of how
to handle Latuda withdrawal side effects

Page opens new browser window.
There are two parts that make a
successful Latuda withdrawal
possible.
How you reduce the Latuda during
withdrawal and taking a few
supplements that will help eliminate
any Latuda withdrawal side effects.
It does not matter what dosage of
Latuda you are taking or how long
you have used Latuda; the reduction of
Latuda is the same.
You want to reduce Latuda by no
more than 10% and only reduce by
an additional 10% every 2 weeks. This
is the safest and most successful
way to become Latuda free and not suffer
during withdrawal.
Check with your pharmacist for
compounding the Latuda and the
best option. The next best method is to
use a pill slicer and a milligram scale.
Get a 7 day pill holder and once a
week cut your pills for the coming
week.
Roughly 90% of you will be able to
complete a Latuda withdrawal using
the method above. However, you will
most likely experience flu like
symptoms, headache, brain zaps, anxiety, and
insomnia or in some cases extreme
fatigue. These symptoms will
normally last 1 or 2 weeks.
In early 1999, we began investigating
the use of natural supplements to
help ease withdrawal symptoms.
Over the past 20 plus years we have
continued to improve this approach
and our success rate is rather high.
With Latuda withdrawal, you should
take 4 supplements. JNK Formula
Complete, Neuro Day, Neuro Night
and Omega 3 Supreme. In 2018, we
researched the use of THC Free
CBD Oil and have found it to be of
great benefit as an additional supplement.
We sourced one CBD oil made in the
United States, made in an F.D.A.
registered facility, a higher amount of
CBD per serving than most and
surprisingly the lowest price by far. It
is called Harper Drops Supreme.
Take the supplements for 1 full week
before reducing the Latuda and then
you can begin your Latuda
withdrawal reduction. It really can be
this simple.

What is Latuda
Latuda is a prescription medication
used to treat depression and anxiety.
It belongs to a class of drugs known as
selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors
(SSRIs).
The medication takes some time to
build up in the body, which is why it
can take a few weeks before people
begin noticing a reduction in
symptoms of depression or anxiety. If you
suddenly stop taking Latuda,
however, you may experience symptoms of
withdrawal. In the United States this
withdrawal is known as Latuda
Discontinuation Syndrome but in
Europe is known as Latuda Withdrawal.
Antidepressants are among the most
commonly prescribed medications in
tOften, long-term use is linked to fear
of relapse of their symptoms
or withdrawal. We have found length
of time taking Latuda WILL NOT
determine how easy or difficult it will
be for you to accomplish a Latuda
withdrawal.
People experience symptoms of
Latuda withdrawal because of the
way SSRI's work in the brain. SSRIs
affect the levels of serotonin, a type
of mood-regulating neurotransmitter in
the brain. When you abruptly stop
taking your medication, it doesn't
give the brain enough time to adjust
to the sudden change.
Whether you are stopping Latuda
because it is not working for you or
you are better and you've decided with
your doctor that it makes sense to
come off your medication, the quitting
process needs to be slow and
gradual.
Signs & Symptoms
Recent research has found that the
severity of SSRI withdrawal is much
worse than previously believed. On
average, about 46% of people
experiencing SSRI withdrawal
symptoms describe them as severe.
Severe symptoms indicate that withdrawal
can potentially interfere with your
ability to meet responsibilities at home and
at work. It was also found that 10%
of the people attempting antidepressant
withdrawal, 10% quit the Latuda
withdrawal due to a withdrawal side
effect known as brain zaps. The
Omega 3 Supreme used during
Latuda withdrawal is formulated to
ease this severe withdrawal side effect.

Latuda withdrawal can take a real toll
on your life, both physically and
emotionally. Antidepressants like
Latuda work by increasing serotonin
levels in your brain. When you stop
taking them, it takes your brain a
while to get used to the drug’s absence.
Unfortunately, the amount of time
this takes can vary widely.
Latuda withdrawal symptoms
typically arrive one to three days
after your last dose. It can start sooner (within
hours) or later (more than a week).
This is why most inpatient facilities
fail with Latuda withdrawal.
Insurance may pay only 9 days of treatment
and by the time you are off the plane
near your city, Latuda withdrawal is
back and in full effect. Latuda
withdrawal should never be rushed.
Coping & Relief
The best way to find relief from
Latuda withdrawal is to use the
supplements mentioned above,
reduce the Latuda gradually and only
continue to reduce when you are
feeling very well. If you are still

In 1999, our founder, Jim Harper,
published a guideline for reducing
medications. That guideline has been
adapted to all psychoactive
medications by the drug
manufacturers. The most effective
way to minimize symptoms of withdrawal is to slowly
taper off your medication.
“Reduce the medication slowly. If
withdrawal symptoms begin go back
up to the last dosage you were doing
fine at, stay at that dosage until all
withdrawal has subsided. When you
continue with withdrawal reduce the
medication slower than the previous
reductions.”
Latuda should only be reduced by
10%. Some people will need to
reduce the Latuda by 5%.
Reductions of the Latuda can be
made every 7 days or in some cases
every 14 days. Slow and steady wins
this race.Tapering involves adjusting your
dose by a small amount, gradually
decreasing until your body gets used
to lower levels of the medication.
Talk to your doctor who can then create a
dose schedule and carefully monitor
the process to avoid severe
symptoms.

you stop taking Latuda can also help
you to better manage any withdrawal
symptoms that you experience.
