Any experience?
Dr wants to try this but it's probably too expensive. I can't raise depakote or Seroquel and I'm irritable. Couldn't afford rexulti or vraylar or caplyta. I've taken everything else. She says it can cause low BP and nausea. Vraylar was $70 pill.

Every antipsychotic can cause low BP. It is not a medication-specific side effect; it is a side effect of the whole genus of these medications. You need to sit in bed before getting up in the morning.
People on the Bipolar forum have taken Fanapt, I believe. Search this website, and you will find old threads. This is not a new medication. Its approved for Bipolar is new (2024), but it was approved for schizophrenia back in 2009. There might be a generic, given how long ago it was approved for schizophrenia.
