I've got to get off abilify and onto rexulti

It’s keeping me sane but driving me mad! :smile: rexulti won’t be available in Europe for some time. I’m just waiting on it.

Maybe rexulti will be a crock for me, but I really want to find out.

Tolerating abilify is a full time job.

what are the side effects for you ?

Restlessness and anxiety. Plus it makes me feel like I have a hangover for about 6 hours. I wake up at midday (and take abilify) and don’t feel normal till about 8 or 9.

do you mind telling me which dose? Is it pill or ::syringe:

10mg pill.

15 char.

yeah - you know the pill is much worse than the injectable.

for me - the pill made me so freakin’ hungry and I ate all day.
Plus it gave me crazy gambling urges.

The injectable is so different - I get restless sometimes but it is like the best med by far.

Mouse told me that he is on that too - I will ask my doc next time - but Abilify is working so well - I don’t even need to switch.

Oral Abilify worked better for me than the shots of it I receive now. I used to take 15 mg tablets, now I’m on an injection that is supposed to be equivalent to 20 mg/day of oral. That’s if it’s given every 4 weeks like normal; I get an injection every 3 weeks. I’m doing well on it, just think I did even better on the tablets. Another benefit is that I’ve been able to reduce my Wellbutrin from 450 mg to 300 mg. I don’t get side effects from Wellbutrin, it’s just nice because it saves me money, and it’s always better to take less medication if I can do so without ill effects.
