My mom and I havent been able to tolerate antipsychotics in the past. What category drug is this?Thank you for your time.
It is the newest atypical with a remarkably good profile in terms of EPS. it sounds like you could not tolerate other atypicals because of akathisia, if I recall your posts correctly, so Caplyta is definitely one to try because it has a low likelihood of causing akathisia.
