After waiting from all of January through all of May, the Vraylar I’m on proves to be effective on positive symptoms. I take 6mg daily, in the morning by mouth. Last February I had religious delusions from exposure to rock music. Exposed again the other day, no delusions arose. Doing music was just an ordinary human thing. In everyday life, the only agencies are human wills, aside from basic physical laws like gravity. Things remain where I left them (of course). And, the only emperor is the emperor of ice cream (or a 2-ltr of Coke).
Side effects: dizziness (has diminished over time); tingling in face and around eyes; a little constipation.
One day, the drug amplified one of my anxieties, however. Some days are unpredictable still.

They say Vraylar is great for negative symptoms. Do you have any negative symptoms? If you have predominantly positive symptoms you should have used drugs like Quetiapine, Risperidone etc
Yes I have neg symptoms as well as positive. Esp, amotivation. I need treatment for both sets. I think the cause of my low motivation is delusional thoughts. Dunno, tho. I even think I have the symptoms of OCD, which might explain in part why I’m a hoarder on top of everything else. There’s a subconscious thought process to the litter in my house, including all the books and CDs piled and stacked in odd places wherever there’s room. Maybe Vraylar isn’t so great. Part of me wants to go without meds altogether, but that probably wouldn’t be wise.
I love vraylar. I’m on 6mg too.
