And I have very low stamina, took a shower and blow-drying my hair was a huge effort. Moving at all is difficult. Also, Caplyta is not supposed to cause weight gain, but I have that "I must eat and eat" feeling. I'm not giving into it because I know better now (after Seroquel), but it's annoying and uncomfortable.
I'm going to call med dude and ask if Caplyta comes in a lower dose. I'd definitely be willing to try that. But being this sedated is not a way to live life. I won't take it tonight, so it's back to an otc sleep med because, most likely, I'll finally really wake up at 9 o'clock.
There's my Caplyta report, lol

Maybe it would get easier if you took it for a while? I know most APs have been like that for me- harder to tolerate initially and easier after some time on them.
