Rexulti and abilify

Medications
1

I recently got off abilify. Now I’m on olanzapine with a dose of Rexulti added.

But what I notice is that the obsessive shopping compulsion is no longer with me! On abilify, I literally felt driven by a motor in my brain to overspend every single day.

Thank goodness I got off of abilify. I find Rexulti has far fewer side effects. I have far less anxiety and less restlessness too. I sleep better. I don’t feel so terribly wound up all the time. Anyone else relate to any of this?

I know you do well on abilify with the risperidone. I’m glad for that.

Ive been on abilify, rexulti and olanzapine at different times. On abilify 10mg a day currently. I know what you mean about the impulsivity. But i found for me, its not really a thing on the low dose of 10mg. But we are all different.
