I was just prescribed Fanapt 4mg Tablets for schizophrenia, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. Has anyone else taken this medication and can share their experiences? What can I expect, and should I be more concerned about the common or rare side effects? Any tips for managing the side effects or making the transition easier?

I recently started taking Fanapt 6mg Tablets for schizophrenia, and I've been trying to stick to the prescribed dosage (twice a day, starting with a low dose). The medication is supposed to help balance certain natural chemicals in the brain, but I'm curious to hear from others who have been on this medication. I've been experiencing some drowsiness and weight gain, which I guess are common side effects, but I want to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. Also, any tips on managing these side effects would be appreciated!
