> TO SLS, I am so sorry brother that cariprazine has failed on you, in fact i feel bit upset about it
Thank you, Jeroen.
So far, we have two people that I know of that have tried cariprazine. My experience, of course, has been very negative, while that of Phiddipus has been very positive.
All I can say is that there have been no medications that have made me feel worse in the beginning and went on to make me feel better. Within 4 days, I felt terrible. Once I recognized the degree to which cariprazine was exacerbating my depression, it became imperative that I discontinue it as soon as possible. As it is, I still have some residual negative effects a week after discontinuation. This is because the combined half-lives of cariprazine and its active metabolites is 1-3 weeks. That's longer than Prozac.
If I still feel the need to look for a replacement for Abilify, it will be Rexulti. I won't be making any changes for several weeks, though.
