Does anyone have information on withdrawing abruptly from Fanapt after taking for over a year! ## Hello, Maija! How are you? Fanapt contains the active ingredient Iloperidone, which is an atypical antipsychotic that's used to treat various mental health conditions. Learn more Fanapt details here. And while some people don't have any problems stopping them, doing so can cause rebound effects, so it's best done via a slow tapering schedule. What has your doctor advised? ## tapered off Fanapt but having extreme anxiety is this normal? I was diagnosed with Bipolar 13 years ago and feel i dont need this anymore.. so far moods are stable... but just lots of anxiety. went from 24 mg to 12 mg to 8mg to 6 mg now to nothing in a years time.

lexapro and Fanapt taken together along with ambien, ,lorazapam, topamax, estra test, furosemide, protonix,busbar what are the effects of thses medications taken together ## Hi Christina, I hate to say it, but just about every medication you mentioned has a potentially dangerous or life threatening interaction of some kind with one another. The worst of these interactions however, lie between Topamax and Fanapt; and Buspar and Lexapro; where as you are at greater risk of serotonin syndrome, oligohidrosis and hyperthermia. Have you considered trying to replace any of these medications with something safer and more natural? I can suggest a few alternatives if you're open to the idea of it.

Commons side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, sedation and weight gain. Read more: Are there any questions or comments? ## You are very misinformed about that medication. The one you are describing is a Buprenorphine 8mg, Not Fanapt which is prescribed to those patients who suffer from schizophrenia. Buprenorphine is prescribed to people recovering from an opiate addiction. GOD, I really should have become a pharmacist.
