I have seen a friend experience an antidepressant effect from asenapine, even though it was prescribed for schizoaffective disorder. Some researcher have speculated that it might have an antidepressant effect based on its pharmacodynamic properties. My doctor said that she liked the drug when I asked about it. I had been significantly improved initially. However, the plan was to use asenapine to replace aripiprazole and prevent weight gain. I have deteriorated since reducing aripiprazole from 10 mg/day to 5 mg/day. I am very disappointed by this.
