Suggest The Best Way To Wean Off 80 Mg Latuda
What is the best way to wean off 80mg latuda?? I ve been taking it for over 2 months. Cost is just to much. My dr has upped my risperidone from 2 - 1m tablets at pm to 1 - 3 mg. I ve been taking the risperidone for little over a month. I also take clonidine 1 tablet twice a day as needed 0.01 mg.

Hi,
Just the cost should not be the reason to stop the drug. There are options alternate solutions that the doctor or office staff can help you with if it is not affordable. It’s always good to talk to the doctor who prescribed the medication and also wise to wean the medicine under their supervision if it is needed for it’s lack of efficacy or any side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
