IT IS ONLY DAY 5... but it has lifted my depression symptoms already from the start day 1 how is that possible so fast acting with fluanxol 1 mg?

I don't know if higher doses are better, but they don't seem to be harmful with respect to the antidepressant action, although they would of course increase the probability of side effects.

Isn't cariprazine a partial d2 agonist like abilify? Would they not have the same effects. (i.e. induce gambling behaviour, etc?)
