I got put on Caplyta about 10 days ago (started with 21 mg for a week, then went up to 42 mg last Friday) for depression with psychosis and I’ve been struggling so hard with the side effects. I’m super tired and have been sleeping like 11 hrs a day, am nauseous and have next to no appetite (i get this is a plus for some people, but I’m a normal weight), and body aches. I can hardly focus and just want to be in bed, but I’m not depressed if that makes sense. The headaches have stopped, luckily. I do feel more like myself personality-wise, but the side effects are so rough. Is it worth it? When did the side effects fade for you guys? Should I talk to my psychiatrist about taking it at night instead of in the morning?

Has anyone ever felt like they’re physically/energetically disappearing out of the world? I feel like I’m “fading out”, especially when I’m alone. Like if I really focused on it I could just die and disappear. This has been accompanied with a lot of thoughts about dying, too.
