Latuda withdrawal: What happens when you stop taking Latuda?

Latuda is a brand of lurasidone, a prescription drug used in the treatment of bipolar disorder (specifically, bipolar depression) and schizophrenia. Latuda is part of a class of medications called atypical, or second-generation, antipsychotics. Abruptly stopping a drug like Latuda may result in a rebound of symptoms. Quitting antipsychotics may also cause withdrawal-like symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, restlessness, and uncontrolled muscle movements. Latuda is not intended to treat dementia-related psychosis in older adult patients as it may cause an increased risk of death.
