I started on Caplyta a little over a month ago. Prior to starting I was dealing with major depression and general apathy. I took 21mg for one week and then went up to 42mg for 2 weeks. I started feeling better even after 3-4 days on the 21 mg and about 3 weeks in I was feeling incredibly energized, motivated, and so much happier. I did not feel manic, I just felt like myself again. However, it got to the point where I was feeling very overstimulated and my mind was racing, so I ended up going back down to 21mg since I felt like it started working when I was still on 21mg. I was on 21mg for 2 weeks and I feel like it did not work at all and I am back to feeling depressed and hopeless. I went back up to 42 mg starting 5 days ago but so far I still feel the same. I am scared that starting Caplyta triggered a manic episode and that I won't be able to get that feeling back...has this happened for anyone else?
