Let me know if it improves your motivation
I’ve had awesome results with Caplyta. The first month or two was kinda rough and I didn’t feel much difference. Voices/hallucinations are more present/a bit louder than they were when I was on abilify, but I’ve gotten a lot better at managing my symptoms over the years.
Now the good things. I’ve been able to work a part time job for 5 months and they actually consider me one of the more reliable employees. I can sleep 6-8 hours each night and still have plenty of energy for the day. I can manage the motivation to exercise regularly and have lost weight (but I had also been losing weight prior to taking this medicine).
I also don’t feel like I’m constantly thinking about food and planning my next meal. I tend to fall on the more extreme end of the spectrum when it comes to gaining weight from meds though.
I don’t want to oversell Caplyta, I’m just offering my experience with it. I also take trintellix and Wellbutrin (in combination) with this drug which may also contribute to having more symptoms. Dealing with voices and symptoms is very difficult at times, but I do alright with it. I should also add I have been in therapy many years and have a decent support system and phenomenal mental health treatment team.
