I have a lot of stomach bloating on Caplyta. One cup of coffee and one diet soda bloats my stomach out. It’s bad and very uncomfortable. Peppermint tea helps, but it’s not enough. I think I have to stop coffee and diet soda altogether.
This absolutely did not happen on Geodon.
The only medication I changed was my antipsychotic from Geodon to Wellbutrin.
Does Caplyta bloat your stomach too?
I meant I changed my antipsychotic from Geodon to Caplyta.
I figured out which medication is causing the bloating. I had just forgotten about it.
What was the cause and what was your reasoning to draw the conclusion?
Addyi causes bloating and Buspirone causes water retention. They’re not in the normal side effects list. I had to search on the Internet for medications and bloating.
I’ve had horrible bloating for two or three months - as long as I’ve taken Addyi and some bloating before, but not as bad. It’s been very uncomfortable and not at all tolerable. Addyi wasn’t working anyway. It has poor reviews.
Oh I thought you meant with was related to either Wellbutrin or Capylta which I thought might have been odd. It’s probably easy to expect too much from something like addyi.
Have discontinued and noticed resolution. I also good oesophageal dismotility on geodon and APs effect hunger hormones. Bloating can be diet and microbiome
No, they started after taking Addyi. I had no bloating at all before I started taking buspirone.
I mean that it’s easy to expect too much from medication that is supposed to be an aphrodisiac. I have taken many.
I didn’t expect anything from it. My doctor had suggested it. It did absolutely nothing. The only thing that helped me was Geodon leaving my system five weeks after I stopped taking it. Now things are better.
Interesting your doctor must be pretty forward thinking. Dopamine antagonist effect sex drive strongly.
You could try some of the stuff from this stack.
Diindolylmethane
Calcium D Glucarate
Zinc
5-HTP
Maybe
Bremelanotide
But I wouldn’t touch the rest
But also because of the estrogen hypothesis in schizophrenia using Diindolylmethane/Calcium D Glucarate could potentially worsen symptoms.
Not great since hormone systems and dopamine are both implicated in positive symptoms and sex drive
Thank you.
My sex drive is better on Caplyta. Geodon was the culprit.
My husband and I have always been active. Thankfully, that’s never been an issue.
