I have been on Caplyta for about 2 months. So far no side effects for me. And it seems to do the trick for most symptoms. But I am schizoaffective bipolar type and it just helps the depression side. Not the mania side. So I’ve been having to deal with mania, just added .5mg haldol to hopefully help.

I wish you all the luck. @anon68822644 thanks for the tag.

I’m used to taking dinosaur meds. I’m hoping to feel better in time.

10 years ago I was the most medicated man in my district so yes I understand that very good.

I’ve taken caplyta for 2 years. I have no side effects really except some tachycardia. But my heart rate is usually 100 bpm. My doctor’s says that’s ok. Sometimes when I do too much caffeine and workout I feel it. No shaky legs or anything like that. No sedative effect. I like it compared to some other antipsychotics. I’m also on geodon. Between the both of them I have mild voices and they’re tolerable. No sedation, no real sideffects.
