I just noticed, recently (knock on wood) that my Latuda helps decrease my usual sloth/slob behaviour..lol. I take the garbage out, clean up, and all that, much better. (Not perfect..but, an improvement.) I have always been a natural sloth most of my life...but I had some bad developmental disabilities as a kid. Problems with co-ordination, a lisp, reading comprehension, math..etc. But, thankfully with special classes, and amazing, loving parents, I improved. Then, when I went to university, I did excellent in political science,honours grades, but started taking high doses of elival, and dropped out in third year.
But, recently, prescribed Latuda, and decreasing Effexor, daily, I find the Latuda gets me up off my slothly butt,and I am hugely (not manic, though) productive. I use clonazepam and beta blockers every few days to temper anxiety.Finny, but Abilify helped a TINY but with this...maybe more...but the inner restlesness was so, so horrible.
Also, this reduces my need for opioid painkillers, knock on wood.

I was brought up to believe..
Belief that's failed me now
As Life goes from bad to worse
No philosophy consoles me
In a clockwork universe..........
