I took Fanapt for Bipolar I .. I cant say that it really helped me but at least I had no bad side effects from it.... but I was only on it for about 6 weeks ... that was all the samples my Pdoc had and he had called the drug rep numerous times to try and get more samples for me.. I have no insurance so of course no way to afford the medication ... since then I have heard good stuff about the medication. I hope its helpful for you .
