Hi everyone, I have successfully been on Caplyta for about 25 days!
I have been more motivated to get back into old hobbies, clean, etc. I do have side effects still, like brain fog, and my anxiety has been more prevalent unfortunately (especially the physical symptoms- breathing funny, body going numb). Beside that, my blood pressure has been good, no headaches. I have to go get blood work/general checkup to make sure my levels are fine and what not, just to ensure the medicine isn't doing anything bad lol.
Anyway , I will be going up to 21mg this Wednesday, and was curious if side effects would come up again? I'm mostly dreading that splitting headache I got the first day on Caplyta 😩 I was shaking from the pain and wanted to puke lol. I can tolerate sleepiness but the headache is the one I fear. I'm also worried that my anxiety will get worse :/ I take hydroxyzine as needed but I try not to take it since it makes me soooooo drowsy.
Thanks!
Quick edit: I have GAD as well, so the Caplyta has been exasperating the anxiety a bit 😬
