I’m on 1.5 vraylar for a week now and I feel more productive I think…
I called the doc office and asked to go beyond the 2 week trial because I feel very good. I will likely lower zyprexa in time too. I hope he approves more space named vraylar

This is good news @HuckFinn, really glad for you.

I heard that it takes about 3 weeks or so for Vraylar to have a full effect in the body.

I hit a rough patch with it this morning - I am on Day 9 of taking it - I have to get used to some of the side effects.

I have terrible insomnia from it.

I average 3 hours of sleep a night on it - hopefully this side effect willl subside with time.

I am going to try to stick with it for at least another month

My pdoc is not concerned about my insomnia, she said that this was a common side effect from it.

Vraylar is an excellent mood stabilizer/antidepressant, so I am going to try to stick with it.

I am very sensitive to meds.

The more I’m hearing the more I wish I would’ve steered my pdoc in this direction when discussing med change

This med seems to wire me up. I pace and chew ice.

I take 100mg Seroquel to sleep.

It’s day 6 for me.

Sometimes its activating, other times I feel stoned from taking it - it does keep me moving and doing a lot of things.
I walk/pace for like 3 to 4 hours a day.
for me, it really does help with my Negative symptoms

Hey there. I am new to the boards. I have depression and was snorting Roxies as my remedy. I found Roxie’s to be the only path to make me feel my real self. Only felt high sometimes but felt motivated, happy, ready to do what I needed to accomplish my day, laughter, let me want to talk to people again where I wouldn’t for days at a time before and Roxie’s would get me out of my head where I would stay consumed by fear, worry, and anxiety. I call it the hole and I hate being in the hole. I think I developed the serotonin deficiency from prolonged cocaine abuse. My body just doesn’t produce it now. My pdoc suggested Vraylor. After reading the posts I am quite excited and hope that it helps me get what I need or what I get from snorting Roxie’s. You all are very helpful and anything you can tell me to look for or suggest I will. I just hope to find normalacy where I couldn’t before.

The pdoc also said to take it tonight before bed. Should I wait. After reading the boards it looks like people take it during the day. Will it male me drowsy or something at first before it kicks in? Please let me know your thoughts cause I really want to get started. Thanks
