User Reviews for Rexulti oral

I was in a bad state depressed, panic attacks, I insomnia. I spent 2 years being juggled around on medication till I found the right combination Rexulti was what saved me nothing could help my depression but this. I was on Abilify but it gave me akathisia so I switched to this, best decision ever. Akathisia isn’t as bad I still have it so I take a muscle relaxer but I can’t complain because that is a common side effect of antipsychotics. I recommend giving this med a try it worked for me better than Abilify it could work for you. I no longer spend day broken down in my house jobless. I’m back to working and I don’t break down I’m upping this medication one last time and i will stay on it as long as I can because Ive had bad depression and anxiety as a kid. Read More Read Less

I had tremors with this medication. Be careful taking. I had to go to the ER with tremors.

Not effective for me. I actually got more depressed.. I have been off for a week and not in bed crying Latham I and truly happy

BECAREFUL !!! Going off rexulti it can be very dangerous I ended up in the hospital. It can be a tough drug to wean off of.

Rexulti helps my ADD it is amazing it clears my mind,organizes my thoughts and really helps my depression. But it makes me fat??

Before 2019, I had pretty regular insomnia. I slept maybe an average of 6 hours and at weird times. 2019 hits and I had a medication change because of an emotional breakdown I had (unrelated). That's when I started this antidepressant. But in Feb of 2019 I got a divorce. I was in a huge depressive spiral. And I slept a LOT. like 10-11 hours a night. I assumed it was the depression. Only...for the past 3-4 years now, I've been going to bed crazy early (7-8 in some cases). And sleeping like 10 hours. I got tested for a million things and nothing explained it. But now that I'm just going off this medication, I've noticed this entire week I've been awake past 1am. I have not done this in over 4 years. So now I'm thinking I lost hours and days and months of my life to sleeping all because of this medication. While it helped my mental health, I lost hours and hours of my life to over tiredness and sleeping all the time. Please be on the lookout for this side effect so that you don't lose what I lost.

I have multiple personalities, bipolar, MDD, and anxiety. Rexulti has helped me tremendously!

This med helped with my anxiety noticeably but the restlessness was unbearable along with increased appetite... waking up several times a night to eat. Had to stop.

At first it worked wonderful for me but the longer I was I was on it the more my feelings got locked up. And I had no feelings. So my Doctor had to take me off the medication. The experience was not good for me.

My doctor started giving me samples of the rexulti 2 years ago. Really seemed to level my mood and I was doing well for quite a while, until my doctor could no longer get samples, and informed me the prescription was close to 1,500 a month, we decided I needed to discontinue the rexulti. So I have followed her instructions for weaning of the drug, and I am two weeks in and it is a terrible experience. I am having panic attacks constantly, I am in some sort of psychosis that I have never experienced before, I can't leave the house. I have been unable to reach my Dr for days, and I just don't know what to do at this point. I am unable to go to work at this time because of my symptoms, I have never experienced this before and I wish I had never started taking rexulti. Hopefully it gets better at some pointRead More Read Less

Worked quickly for relieving my depression, caused me to gamble and shop like crazy. Sadly no one mentioned that side effect to me, and it was severe. Didn’t even realize it till after I stopped this medication and realized all my urges to shop and gamble just vanished after roughly 10 days of stopping it. Also stopping this medication…at least for me caused severe panic attacks 15-20 times a day. And now I’m having worse anxiety then I’ve ever had in my whole life. This drug may work for you, but read all possible side effects. You would never think a medication could cause compulsive spending/gambling.Read More Read Less

I’ve only been taking Rexulti for about two weeks, but it’s been very helpful so far along with Lexapro for depression and anxiety. If you’re reading this and taking Rexulti for depression then you also should also be taking an antidepressant with it. So far so good and nothing else has really worked well, hopefully it will continue to help as time progresses. Give it a chance if you are just starting with it.

I suffer from PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and ADD. I started taking .5 with cymbalta 90mg and my depression started getting worse so they upped it to 1mg then my psychologist seen me again and I was still getting worse and gave me 2mg and sent me to therapy and then that's when I got really bad. I literally wanted to kill myself and was preparing for it. I for some just stopped taking my meds because I stopped caring about everything. But I still took my cymbalta because I would get the brain zaps if I didn't. But then I started feeling better, thinking clearer and the realization hit me that I was ready to kill myself and me feeling sane again i got really scared because how close I was to ending it all. Please do not do what I did. You need to be honest about your feelings and see if the meds truly make you better or worse, confide in someone please. Read More Read Less

This is the third medication my psychiatrist tried for a depression. I was taking it for 3 months. For the first month, I was taking 0.5 mg. I didn't feel much, except being slightly sedated after the medication. But, if I was taking it at night, I had a poor sleep. For the second month, I was taking 0.5-0.7 mg. I had more energy, although initial sedation was pronounced. Overall, I felt better at that time. For the third month, my psychiatrist bumped the dose to 0.7-1mg. And that's where the hell began. If I take the med at morning, sedation become really intense. Even if I was trying to split the dose in two. If I was taking it at night, my sleep become bad, and I was feeling myself quite sick next day - nauseated, weak, with a headache. These side effects started slowly, but surely Eventually, I started feeling really depressive again. But worst of all, this medication completely shut down my intellectual capabilities. If I am doing any sort of physical / handyman's work - it's not that bad; I feel sedated somewhat but can do things. But I'm a software engineer. And every time I was going to work, I was unable to do _anything_. Literally, it took any ability of mine to do any sort of intellectual work. Any attempt to think would make me sick, and even mildly nauseated. I tried to lower the dose to 0.5 mg - but after days the I still felt same side effects. So I had to stop taking the drug altogether.Read More Read Less

Started Rexulti after 6 months after having the Mirena IUD inserted. The IUD stopped my periods. Rexulti brought them back w/ a vengeance. Stopped Rexulti for 3 days & it went away. Started back up again and BOOM - periods started again in full force. Lasting over 9 days. Will be stopping Rexulti. The benefits are null.

Taking with Pristiq, other than getting alittle snippy and short tempered I am a lot more civil and racing thoughts and negative thoughts are reduced significantly. I have been on it 3-4 years, I show up for work, alert, positive attitude, I have even lost 50 lbs and since I'm still 80 lbs over weight it's a good thing. Thank God for modern medicine.

The medication caused my throat to close up and result in trouble swallowing...Which then caused me to have my first panic attacks feeling as though I couldn't breathe...it was awful and scary...it took about 3 months after stopping the medication as well as having an endoscopy done and my throat stretched back out with a balloon to feel normal again...

I have CPTSD, bipolar II, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. My Dr put me on this medication after having me on a whole bunch of other medications at the same time with no relief to my symptoms. So I went on rexulti. HUGE MISTAKE. I spiralled almost immediately indo a deep depression and as a result had to go to IOP for 3 months 3 days a week. I stopped the meds when I heard that my Dr was fired for exactly what she did to me, which was apparently pushing rexulti on all her clients to gain a profit and I'm assuming it resulted in complaints like mine. But even though I've stopped it and been off it for a little over a year, I keep having these deep depression episodes that I've never had before. It's changed my ability to function and be a part of society in a regular capacity. For the past year, I've been in and out of IOP, seen different therapists and psychologists, and talked to Drs and specialists. Most of which is a direct result of taking rexulti. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. Read More Read Less
