Asenapine Maleate 5mg SL Tablets: My Experience with Side Effects and Efficacy
So, I've been taking Asenapine Maleate 5mg SL Tablets for a few months now to manage my bipolar I disorder. I've noticed some side effects, but I also feel like my mood swings are under better control. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the side effects and how they compare to other medications in this class. It's also worth noting that the tablets are a bit weird to take since they dissolve under the tongue, but that's a small trade-off for the benefits I'm seeing. I am curious to hear if anyone has experienced some of the more serious side effects such as NMS or Tardive dyskinesia. The list of potential side effects is quite long and can be scary to read. I am also interested to know if anyone has any tips on how to best manage the side effects such as the dizziness, drowsiness, or increased appetite.

I tried Asenapine and it just didn't work for me to be honest. I had trouble controlling body movements and that was a big no, so I switched back to my old medication. I think it's worth giving a shot if you are struggling with other medications though.
Wait, you take this sublingually? I didn't know that!
I've noticed some mouth numbness and changes in taste too. It's not too bad, but it's definitely noticeable. It's annoying and makes it hard to eat some foods. I talked to my doctor and they suggested switching to a different medication in the same class. I hope it works better for me.
I've been on Asenapine for a year now, and it's been a game-changer for me. The drowsiness can be tough at first, but it's manageable with a bit of planning. I make sure to take it before bed. My psychiatrist also recommended avoiding caffeine and alcohol to help minimize side effects.
I'm curious if anyone has experienced any hormone related side effects. Specifically, I'm worried about my menstrual cycle being affected.
This medication helped me so much with my bipolar disorder but I had to deal with increased appetite and weight gain. My doctor suggested monitoring my diet closely and staying active, which helped a lot. I also noticed that the dizziness is worse when I stand up too quickly, so I make sure to do it slowly.
Be careful with this stuff. My friend had some pretty scary side effects and had to switch medications.
Side effects are a nightmare. I had to stop taking it due to severe dizziness. And my doctor had to explain what could be causing irregular heartbeats. I switched to another medication and it's been much more tolerable.
I think it's crazy that this medication can cause such severe issues like NMS and Tardive dyskinesia. I'm glad I haven't experienced anything like that. It's just something to keep in the back of your mind while taking it. I think it's really a last resort medication
I've been really hesitant to try this medication because of the list of side effects. I'm glad to hear that some of you have found it helpful. It's good to know that there are ways to manage the side effects even if they are very serious.
