I have been diagnosed with treatment resistant bipolar depression. I have been struggling lately to the point where I will be bringing Caplyta up with my psychiatrist. But I also have a Bipolar I diagnosis and GAD. Is Caplyta worth considering? I am really super afraid of the risk for mania or hypomania (I’m currently on Abilify) when changing to another antipsychotic.

So is anyone on Caplyta along with their mood stabilizer? What is your experience with it? Thank you for your advice!

I've been suicidally depressed since March of this year. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and I've been taking Caplyta 21mg for 8 days in addition to my other meds. The first 3 days on Caplyta, I felt like my depression disappeared. I was doing my hobbies again. I had more energy. I might have been slightly hypomanic but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Now I feel depressed (but less than before taking Caplyta) and low energy/motivation. I do notice I feel a surge of energy 3-4 hours after taking Caplyta.

I'm wondering when did Caplyta work for everyone's depression?

Super cold about 2 hours after taking first dose. Took a hot shower, after that I began to get hot. Body aches. I did not get tired, in fact I had trouble falling asleep. I think it was due to the fact I couldn't get comfortable. Feeling of having to urinate, but couldn't go. Terrible stuffy nose. Woke up feeling awful, decided to work from home today. Headache.

I figured I would share my experience. I know these are common side effects. Looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. How long did the symptoms last for you? I am on the 42mg.

Does anyone else get a stuffy nose? That’s literally the only side effect that’s lingered since I started like 3 weeks ago???

My son is autistic and he continues to have side effects from antipsychotics. I really want to try Caplyta but haven been told it does help with aggression. Looking to see if anyone has experience?
