I am sorry to hear this, TTLAv
I hope someone with more experience than I can answer you better
The only thing I know that worked for me (for fear/anxiety and anger/rage) was Inositol Powder at a dose of 12-18g per day
I posted this string a while back - I don't even like talking about my rage and anger - but it helped with that, too
however, I never really had depression and I think it does not help with that (from studies done with Inositol)
the Inositol supplement may not help you, but it is inexpensive, easy to get, tastes good, and does not have side effects I know of - so it may be worth a try to see if it helps you
if you have unbalanced brain function, though, I would ramp up slowly and see if it affects you, before jumping into a high dose
the you tube video Robin posted may also give you some insights - even though it is over my head
I can't find the link right now - maybe Robin123 could post it again?

I just want to add that most people have to increase the Inositol slowly--like a sugar alcohol, it can cause gastric distress/gas and loose stools until one becomes accustomed to it.

Hope you find relief soon. Make sure you are NOT supplementing with Vit B6.

Are your doctors aware the Latuda is wiping you out so much? I'm really sorry you are having such a tough time.
