you get to help pick the medicine that they’re going to put me on and here are the choices Rexulti Vraylar or other. the problem is that my old medicine I have been on for 15 years, maybe longer with the research studies, now I have high sugar levels and high triglycerides and is wrecking my health I need to find one that doesn’t effect these 2 levels but still runs in the same class as abilify it is very important to me that the choices I make as I am an older person and have plenty at stake to losein the next 3 weeks I will be going under for a procedure on my gall bladder afterwards ill b changing medication on an out patient basis with home health care it will b critical at that point to see if I can adjust to the new medication I hope I don’t get to fruity on you all. here is the poll…[poll type=multiple min=1 max=3]

  • 1 Rexulti
  • 2 Vraylar
  • 3 other

I don’t know if that will help, but it’s a comparison.
Best wishes, @TheGreatestDrZen. That must be stressful to have so much going on. :heart:️

My vote is vraylar. Have you looked into latuda?

I voted other, because I haven’t heard much about the other two.

Here is some info on Vraylar.

I am not familiar with those medicines.

Hope you will find a good one for you.

@TheGreatestDrZen I really hope that you start feeling better soon.
I would start choosing an AP with your doctor and take it from there.
Both Vraylar and Rexulti are partial dopamine agonists.
They are similar.

Don’t know much about it but @AmateurUnlicensedQuack swears by rexulti if memory serves. Half his posts seem to be about it.

@TheGreatestDrZen Ask your pdoc to go over the pros and cons of the med choices with you. Then make a decision which med to try.

It’s really good that you’re being so proactive about researching and selecting a new med. I hope it all gets sorted out for you. Take care!
