Basically the anxiety is getting to me. I know you take benzos with it, but I don’t anymore. It’s the best med I’ve been on though for keeping me stable.

I had a terrible experience with abilify, it did nothing for my symptoms, but it did improve my mood, although I had terrible anxiety on it. Rexulti has both improved my mood but also controls symptoms, without the extra anxiety.

It’s definitely something I’ll try once it’s available. If it acted like abilify but without the anxiety for me, I’d be very happy (to say the least).

Rexulti for me, was not stimulating at all like Abilify.
It actually made me so lazy I didn’t even want to tie my shoes. Hopefully it’s your magic pill @everhopeful

Nothing to lose by trying it, I can always switch back to abilify. I’m quite lazy anyway, so might not notice the difference

Haldol 0.5mg (and 0.5mg of lorazepam added when I can’t sleep)
No I don’t take an antidepressant. They’re weaning me off of Invega and titrating me up on Abilify hopefully to 15 or 20mg.

Abilify also gave me awful Anxiety, it also worsened my paranoia.
@anon68237654 and @Samp it’s good to know that Rexulti didn’t make you guys anxious.
This sounds promising to me.
I’m going to seriously bring up this med to my psychiatrist when I see her in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the input guys.

Abilify 10mg, though it’s not really doing much. It worked for a while but now my symptoms are starting to creep back into my life. But Risperdal made me feel horrible, so I don’t want to go back to it. I probably just need to up my dose, though I’m worried about what that will do to my creativity and productivity. I don’t want to be a zombie, or a nervous wreck, I just want to function.

400 mg of Seroquel at hour of sleep. However, my pdoc has given me the okay to take up to 800 mg/day (400 mg/morning, 400 mg at hour of sleep) if needed.
