My Dr prescribed Rexulti. Gonna start 1mg

Posted by Lamdage22 on July 30, 2018, at 7:23:12

I think that this is a logical step. I hope it helps.

Hi, Lamdage.

> I think that this is a logical step. I hope it helps.

I hope so, too. Why is this logical? What do you need Rexulti to do for you? Just curious.

A few questions.

Will you continue with Seroquel and Zyprexa while you try Rexulti? If Rexulti helps, what will you do with these two drugs?

What does Seroquel do for you? What does Zyprexa do for you?

Have you ever tried Abilify?

Rexulti should be less likely to cause akathisia than Abilify. I found that Rexulti did not help with depression. Interestingly, a friend of mine had to increase her dosage of Seroquel once she added Abilify in order to prevent delusions.

Good luck with Rexulti.

Well, i could use an antipsychotic that is less prone to causing weight gain, i could use less daytime sedation and i could use an antidepressant. So it may help as an Antidepressant, it may help as an antipsychotic or it may do both.

Yes i will continue. If i respond favorably will probably reduce these two drugs. Reduce and/or redistribute them to later in the day.

Serouqel knocks me out when i want to sleep and Zyprexa mellows me out. I think that both drugs help positive symptoms equally.

> Have you ever tried Abilify?

Yes. It was pretty cool except for akathisia. I felt a mood lift and i did not have delusions.

Thanks:)

And not to forget it would be a mood boost without man problems.

What about driving on rexulti? I think that Zyprexa is easier to replace as i do need the nighttime sedation of Seroquel

hi. id try to limit tranquilizers to 1 or 2 at a time, if you can. maybe...

drop 1, ramp up the rexulti, slowly decrease the other one? I dunno. have you ever taken gabapentin or lyrica or even a daily benzodiazepine? there are sedatives out there that are less toxic than neuroleptics..

Hi CE,

its just temporarily. Gabapentin does not do anything for me and you can get hooked on Lyrica. If i had something that knocked me the *beep* out, i could reduce alot of the neuroleptics.

 

If i get side effects, how long will they last?

Hey,

i was wondering about this. If Rexulti does not agree with me, how long until it is out of my system? I hear it has a long half life and i wonder if that means that the side effects will last weeks?

Thanks

i dunno. 2 additional full dose tranquilizers plus other psych drugs...

gets tricksy. have you thought about 1 tranquilizer? full, even high dose rexulti might be better than what you've got going right now. when i was in a hospital, they used low dose perphenazine for agitation, on an as needed basis. maybe that could help? not as rough as stelazine or haldol, not as sedating and noxious as Thorazine. Just a thought.

 

1300$

One month of Rexulti would be 1300 dollars. I will have to wait until insurance covers the costs here in Germany. Should happen this year.

They won't be selling Rexulti in the UK and I can see why. It would not be prescribed!
