Would you swap to Caplyta from abilify?

I was forcibly put on meds by the court system because I spit on a police officer and was facing up to 5 years in the pen, but they let me go because I was deemed mentally ill, I was also doing alot of risky, mischief like behavior around my little town. Even though the abilify worked pretty good and kept my symptoms away completely, it caused a lot of weight gain.

I’ve read that Caplyta was better about not causing a huge appetite, thus weight gain.

Do you feel like it would be to risky of an idea to swap to Caplyta? Just wondering? I’ve heard some of you guys say it works really good. I also have OCD, does it help with that as well?

I have schizophrenia and OCD,

My doctor also presented me (on abilify) with the option to switch to caplyta.

I declined.

Why mess with a good thing, right?

But now I’m hearing a lot more about caplyta and wish I had given it a chance.

Your call.

I can see it either way.

Ive had great success switching from invega to caplyta. No problems lost 40lbs (switched to a really healthy diet too but no more extreme hunger) and a return of sexual function

True what u said about messing up a good thing, I’ve just heard a lot of good things about Caplyta other than it’s too weak, I’ll probably end up trying it anyways

Caplyta seems nice. If Abilify turns out to be a disaster. I guess I’ll ask for caplyta. Gotta have a back up. No way I’m going back on invega
