I just went from Rexulti to Haldol, over the necessary dose in my experience for both, and back.
Haldol is a typical antipsychotic which just friggin slams the brain shut down.
Rexulti is a third generation atypical antipsychotic which targets psychosis while enhancing cognition, however it does not help with short term memory as much as haldol due to less targeting of the sigma receptors.
I wrote a book on rexulti last year while studying very hard, in fact pretty much just reading everything before school even started. That was on the max dose of rexulti.
On 2mg of haldol, I can barely move until it wears off.
They make newer medications for a reason. I gather that lots of us (me included) end up doped the hell up on some other stuff, well just know that there are options for when you have to trade in being alive for having symptoms just gone. I always said that having me symptom free would have me walking with a cane- correction, symptom free had me stuck in bed for two hours then in a chair for five more. Still havent taken out my trash.
Preach it boi
Rexulti was a mainstay for me, the problem was that I thought I was on too many pills. I can feel it helps with cognition- I have been writing garbage from what looks like someone else on here, and now I am intellectualizing pretty damn hard.
Ask for the ■■■■ I am on. It can save your life to change meds to where you are not lobotomized.
