Default vraylar (caripazine)???

vraylar (caripazine) does anyone take this? Or have experience taking this? I see my pdoc this week and I would like to have some other suggestions for an antipsychotic for her.
So far
Saphris 2.5mg, black cherry flavored sounds reasonable.
It is very expensive but I have a $15 dollar savings card for a year.
I don't know about vraylar. Have not researched that yet.

yes bobby...lots of negative reviews just like all of the other AP. I think people with bad experiences post more about them then good experiences so the numbers are skewed.
I was just hoping that some one here might have had experiences.

1. recent study 2015:
http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/....2015.15020164
Possible side effects: akathisia and insomnia; weight gain was slightly higher than placebo

2. published 2017
The Safety and Tolerability of Cariprazine in Patients With Manic or Mixed Episodes Associated With Bipolar I Disorder: A 16-Week Open-Label Study - ScienceDirect
Akathisia was a common side effect, but generally did not result in discontinuation

All antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics, especially the new ones, are going to have a lot of bad reviews. They all come with a lot of potential side effects, some of which are very unpleasant, and some are very serious. Everyone's responses to meds are different tho and some people can handle the milder side effects, if they even get any, because of the benefits they get from the drug.

You should look at incidence of
QT events when researching.

High incidence of this side effect generally outweighs any benefits of the drug.

This is just one table I found on the comparing QT effects for atypical antipsychotics:
Which psychotropics carry the greatest risk of QTc prolongation? | Current Psychiatry

I think it is very difficult to manage all these drugs to choose from.

In the end you have to consider your own response too.
But tumors and stopping the heart are rather serious and should be considered too.
