Rexulti recovery

lependu · May 2, 2020, 2:04am

Its been 2 months since taking my last dose of rexulti, i still feel the exact same as i was taking it, that is i feel nothing and get pleasure from nothing, its like my brain is stuck in one place and i cant feel anything. It makes everything impossible to do i dont know how to explain it. Anyone else feel this and recover???

Negative symptoms are specific to SZ. I had them when unmedicated.

Actually Rexulti and Abilify are the best meds for negative symptoms but they only improve them slightly and doesn’t treat them.

What you are experiencing is negative symptoms which are apathy, avolition, self-neglect, asociality and anhedonia. I have all those and my psychiatrist said there is no meds for them yet.

Maybe KarXT (Xanomeline) in the future:

No ive never had these symptoms until taking rexulti and have had them ever since. Its not a normal for me at all. It may be negative symptoms but they are caused directly by the rexulti

It is like a brain inflammation thing. If you have too much you start losing your emotions.

My psy said Rexulti and Abilify improve negative symptoms and they did for me but I had serious side effects so I stopped.

When did you get diagnosed and when did you start taking APs? Which ones?

lependu · May 2, 2020, 2:21am

Do you know if and when it might stop?

lependu · May 2, 2020, 2:24am

I got dxed in 2017 and started then on seroquel for up until a year ago when i decided it was too sedating. Since then ive been through risperidone, vraylar (idk if thats even an ap? My psychiatrist was really shady), abilify, rexulti, geodon and fanapt. Geodon was awesome but i couldnt continue bc of side effects

Aziz · May 2, 2020, 2:25am

And you never had negative symptoms on any of those meds? Very weird.

Aziz · May 2, 2020, 2:27am

Vraylar is also good for negative symptoms. You might try going back on it if you didn’t have any negative symptoms while on it.

It doesn’t just stop, you have to do something with diet and supplements and meds to reduce the brain inflammation and get back to a normal feeling. Otherwise it’s just going to be like that.

lependu · May 4, 2020, 8:40pm

Try this for starters:

Then this:

Daily Essential Nutrients, a micronutrient supplement that helped me get past a symptom plateau DX'd - Other

I’m wondering if I can post about Daily Essential Nutrients by Hardy Nutritionals. It’s FDA approved and there are reams of studies showing it’s effective against a wide array of mental illnesses. I’m on day 23 of it and experiencing broad benefits, reduced SZ symptoms that I feel is due to brain inflammation reduction, head pressure reduction to the point of being comfortable, and weight loss since my appetite is being reduced (lost 13 pounds so far). I feel like this can make me feel like my old self in a few months. The benefits seem to be stacking! Here’s a testimonial about someone who used it for bipolar and anxiety (stabilized her mood with it:) The downside is that it makes antip…

No problem! Good luck.

I’m going to try a PEMF device, that should help more. Will post if it works. I’ll tag you.
