When ppl say activating , what exactly do you mean? Like more awake? Motivation?

Basically it isn’t as sedative as other modern APs. Comes with more alertness which can be good for some and just increase anxiety in others.

Partial agonists are weak compared to full antagonists for me, partial agonists give me addictions I feel like I am on cocaine

I would go with the docs call instead of speculation on here. Give it a shot, these meds affect everyone differently.

Ugh, I hope it won’t make me have more anxiety/panic attacks than I already have

I could use the energy and motivation to do things more though

Thanks for the clearer explanation

Firstly, if Vraylar is called Reagila in EU with working stuff of Cariprazine (sorry about my poor memory, due to you-know-it – SZ). I can concentrate more, become calm, more energy (la vita in French). Life become more colorful, because I am the kind of person, easy-going, simple, passionate for many good things surposed to be in life. However, on a topic of mine, a Mister said it ‘lingering paranoid’, I was and am still figuing this word out, I prefer to say it also :rofl: – kind of fearfulness I am having those days. Food, Apartment and other all stuffs was taken care by Germany – like two custodians who taking care of me, so that I can relief a bit for these moments, right here and now I having more and larger goals to be set and hopefully I will achieve them.

This is a very expensive medication. Do you have coverage for it?

It worked for a bit. The dose creeped up. Unfortunately, there was a lot of life stuff going on that increased stress levels beyond my control

Thankfully, unlike many times before, my job was waiting for me when I was ready

In the past, disruption of meds has resulted in a total loss of employment
