Caplyta
Caplyta occupies the dubious honor of being the 13th second generation antipsychotic granted FDA approval. Other members of the family include Zyprexa, Abilify, Risperdal and Rexulti. Unlike some of the others, Caplyta is only marketed to treat symptoms of schizophrenia. Caplyta is an oral drug administered once daily with meals. The dose is 42 mg.
Schizophrenia includes positive and negative symptoms. The positive symptoms of delusions and hallucinations may improve with Caplyta but the drug appears less likely to help the negative symptoms of apathy, social withdrawal and blunted affect.
Short term trials involving relatively few patients demonstrate relatively unremarkable improvement. Caplyta does not appear to offer any distinct or unique advantages compared to the other 2nd generation antipsychotics. For the cash price of nearly $1600 a month one would expect special benefits. The cash price of other popular generic antipsychotics may be as low as $10 a month.
Caplyta may interact with a variety of other medicines. A special black box warning cautions against use in elderly patients with dementia. Sedation and somnolence occur in up to 1 in 4 patients. Difficulty swallowing due to esophageal problems may lead to aspiration. Dystonia presents as spasm of the neck muscles, tightness of the throat and difficulty breathing.
Unusual movements of the mouth, lips, tongue and eyelids known as tardive dyskinesia may or may not resolve with discontinuation of therapy. Metabolic changes include increase in blood sugar, weight gain and elevation of serum lipids. The white blood count may decrease and potentially serious declines in blood pressure on standing also known as orthostatic hypotension expose the patient to potential falls and fractures. Seizures may occur.

    Ironically, I only take it when seeing the doctor because I have this irrational fear that he is going to find something terribly wrong with me. Unfortunately, this fear spikes my blood pressure in his office which is normal when checked at home. So I take 1 mg prior to the visit. Helps a lot.

    Wow I’m glad you’re not my dr. You are so pompous in your claims “ you haven’t tried hard enough”! I thank god for my dr who listened to me when I told her I have a very healthy diet but still have elevated LDL. She did 1 blood test and found this: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder. It is caused by a defect on chromosome 19. The defect makes the body unable to remove low density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol from the blood. This results in a high level of LDL in the blood So Dr get off your pedestal and listen to your patients!!

    20 year ago, I was told I would probably not be able to walk in 10 years without surgery that would leave me in considerable pain. I was nearing a point of daily opiate use. I was a drug abuse counselor, living out a story I'd heard about a thousand times. I knew where the road lead. For the past 10 years I have used kratom and physical therapy to remain upright, mobile, and off of opiates. Surgical techniques have improved considerably, so it is much less threatening, should I need it. I'm relatively healthy for my age. With the help of meds for blood pressure, and a low dose statin, statin, my blood work comes back within normal limits every 6 months. Not bad for 72 yo. Today's climate within the medical community toward opiates would have made it impossible for me to remain pain free. I would have been on street drugs without kratom.

Zotavax needs to be banned worldwide, to prevent others from suffering what I have suffered. I am now on Valacyclovir which has suppressed Meneire's, but still have occasional episodes, and afraid may result in suicide.
