I’m stable on risperdal. but I could drop my sleep medication, akathisia medication, and probably even the mood stabilizer trileptal that I’m on if it works. It would be nice to take one medication. My trileptal makes me feel like I have scabies a lot.
Its good to be positive so I would try Caplyta but I don’t believe it will improve me much.
The med that I am betting my life on is Xanomeline because it was shown in all studies to improve all SZ symptoms. It stimulates muscarininc receptors. Its the 1st and only med to improve positive, negative and cognitive symptoms.
It will be in Phase 3 end of this year so it will take 10 years to be available in Canada.
Talk to your pdoc about it. If you really want to do this marshal your arguments beforehand so that you can be persuasive to your pdoc. They will probably oppose this just out of routine. That kind of thing can be hard to argue against.
