12.1 Mechanism of Action Aripiprazole lauroxil is a prodrug of aripiprazole. Following intramuscular injection, aripiprazole lauroxil is likely converted by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis to N-hydroxymethyl aripiprazole, which is then hydrolyzed to aripiprazole. The mechanism of action of aripiprazole in schizophrenia is unknown. However, efficacy could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at dopamine D 2 and serotonin 5-HT 1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT 2A receptors.

I've been severely ill for years. I crashed hard in June 2020 and I never recovered. I spent two years bedridden. I was diagnosed with MECFS two years later. I have struggled even after 4 1/2 years of recovery to do more than walk 50 feet without being out of breath. Recovery seemed impossible impro

I’ve lost 30lbs so far, started by walking like crazy, and now I work with a personal trainer and train 4 times a week. I’m stronger and more consistent than I’ve ever been. But the scale has been stuck betwe
