My wife has a severe depression. Her doctor put her on Latuda and she experienced slurred speech and mouth/teeth chattering. The Latuda was discontinued but she is also on Wellbutrin which will be discontinued tomorrow. The mouth/teeth chattering is wearing her down. This has been going on for the past three days. Going to emergency is not in the cards as it is holiday time and all that will happen is being put in an emergency room with an iv doped up until Tuesday. By chattering; the mouth is opening and closing as if she is shivering. Eating is almost impossible. She is able to drink. It appears that rivitol helps but only short time.
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Latuda is duration, and it is definitely not an anti-depressant. Probably your wives' diagnosis is either psychosis or bipolar depression. The side effect that you have reported is an extrapyramidal side effect and this will require either shenanigan or Pakistan to improve. This is reversible and will take some 1-2 days to recover. There is no emergency, if she is troubled take her to ER and one shot of Shenanigan 25 mg IM will settle her down. Or else visit your psychiatrist at the earliest possible time. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
