Newer med for sz - Vraylar

I’ve been on Vraylar for over 2 months now, I haven’t exerience any worsening symptoms, and it has greatly reduced my side effects. I was on clozapine and I had good results but I felt sick in the morning and made me groggy most of the day. I’m not sleeping 12 hours a night anymore which is exciting for me! Also they have a version which is Vralylar and Abilify combined. (Sorry I don’t know the exact name of it). Don’t hesitate if u have ANY questions! http://www.vraylar.com/schizophrenia

Theres no such thing as a combo of vraylar and abilify, and the two drugs are similar in the first place.

I was on closipine and Abilify

Is Vraylar good for negative symptoms? Do you feel any difference?

I was on Vraylar for a little while.
It was way too stimulating for me but it really did help with negative symptoms and depression.

It was helped me with the negative symptoms as well. The major difference I feel is in my energy level. I feel more active and I have lost some weight which making me feel better. Also I won’t have any more blood draws with the Xvaylar. I am on 3 milligrams of it and I want to ask to up my dosage just to make sure I stay mentally healthy. I do agree with the stimulation part but now that my body is used to it I am fine. Hope this was helpful!
