Thank you for posting the information about cariprazine, Ed. I probably would not have come across it myself.

> I think you might be interested in cariprazine.

This is big-time news to me.

I read that cariprazine has a lower affinity for D2/D3 receptors than does Abilify. I like this idea. It might make for a more tolerable drug with a wider therapeutic window. I am hoping that it wouldn't cause hypertriglyceridemia in me as does Abilify. Also, at higher dosages, cariprazine might not produce the cognitive impairments that are sometimes seen. Perhaps cariprazine would be less apt to produce akathisia. Anyway, I am excited about this drug.

I have been up to 150 mg with Parnate. It was marginally more helpful than 80 mg. I would consider trying it again, now that other drugs are on-board.
