In reply to Tried Caplyta as an augment to pristiq. no bueno, posted by TriedEveryMedication on June 23, 2022, at 18:01:08
thanks. and...sorry about the drug-induced misery.
I probably (?) need a major tranquilizer in my life. I think its that or a mix of "mood stabilizers." I was curious about Caplyta. I skimmed some rather scathing material about the FDA's approval of Caplyta and the manufacturer's various claims about tolerability and such...
but still curious. what can I say? aripiprazole isn't terrible, but I think I am searching for a neuroleptic that can "get the job done" without some of the adverse effects I suspect aripiprazole may have caused...lower mood and increased obsessiveness (relatively mild), in my case.
so...thank you. and again, sorry about the drug-induced misery. I don't...entirely understand why the new rounds of neuroleptics are given to people with bad depression -already- . back in the day, it was somewhat common for low doses of the old drugs to find use in agitated and/or severe mixed depressive states...
not so much in people who need a mood -boost-. doesn't make sense. then again, its...psychiatry.
thanks again.
