My pdoc just sent me home with samples of Caplyta. May or may not try it. Anyone have experience with this drug? I've never heard of it before.

It's an antipsychotic. It's technically FDA approved for schizophrenia but it's used off-label for bipolar depression.

I don't have any direct experience with Caplyta. I know that it's a new medication. I've seen a few people on PC mention that they're taking it. I'm curious to know what you think of it after a bit.
Why was it prescribed to you? __________________ |

I had never heard of that medication until now. Like BethRags wrote, please let us know how it goes for you. Best of luck with it!

It does appear to have some potentially thoughtful strategies from a molecular pharmacology perspective. That said, itis extremely disappointing that it is sedatimg and yet, marketing itself as a breakthrough. Unless specifically targeting sleep, breakthrough bp and sz spectrum agents in 2020 should never, ever cause unwanted sedation. Ever.
Maybe take it an hr. before nigh nigh, like doxepin or Serokill or whatever. Hope it helps!! __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
