Ironic that it did that since it’s an antipsychotic medication used for schizophrenia but I guess it induced almost immediate visual hallucinations for you , and within a half hour as well after starting it which I guess means you have one of the most rare genetic profiles in terms of how you metabolize medications because it takes at least a week generally for it or any antipsychotic to have actual psychopharmacological action in the brain.

After trying almost all atypical antipsychogic including low dose clozapine without success or very low results or sometimes worse outcome than the original state, I started 2mg Rexulti 18days ago. So far it works better than previous ones but I don't know if the dosage is ok. I liked Abilify but it stopped working and side effects was horrible. I hope Rexulti will work for my disorganised shizophrenia with therapy resistant negative symtomps. I already feel something positive.

A long time ago I was on Abilify & my mood was definitely much better than ever but I wasn’t hypomanic just enjoyed being alive. Felt like a happier human being. But unfortunately & unexpectedly I found I was gaining weight & started looking heavy! I had gained 20 Ibs of water! I really had to get off Abilify quickly. With Rexulti I’ve heard enough about the horrific side effects that I personally wouldn’t want it around me 1 bit!

Not many doctors have experience working with trans people so I'm worried that I might be at risk for some of these metabolic issues.

I’m bipolar 1 and SSRIs send me to the moon. Before it was clear that I was BP1 I was treated for major depressive, and after reporting aggression on SSRIs, I was given Effexor and Lamictal. I felt less depressed for a while and there was no aggression, but the depression came back. After failing a trial with Vraylar I was given Rexulti and the depression morphed into severe anhedonia. Against the advice of my nurse practitioner I’ve started titrating off of the Effexor because even though it’s an SNRI, I wonder if it’s giving me a purely negative effect as an SSRI would but I can’t see it because of the Lamictal. Question: should I still see the anti depression benefit of Rexulti without an SSRI/SNRI? I feel like my mood is lifting and a straight jacket is being removed as I reduce the Effexor. Is this a case of… even if this is counterintuitive, if it works it’s the right thing to do?
@mek.carvalhoАй бұрын
This anhedonia may be caused by the type of the antidepressive you're taking, it may be too serotoninergic for you (this happened to me when I was taking fluvoxamine - I felt like a robot). Then my doctor changed it to one that goes for that dopamine and norepinephrine area, bupoprione. Besides lamotrigine may not be enough for treating bipolar disorder, but it depends on your organism. I'm bipolar type 2, and started with lithium, lamotrigine and bup. My aunt only took lamotrigine, but it took her 6 months to get better. Psychiatrist disorders are not easy to find the medicine that fits very well dor each paciente. But keep trying, it's worth it. Ps; if you take lithium, don't forget to dose it's blood level because there is a range that is therapeutic, otherwise it may be toxic.

Taking it as an add-on to anti depression med. Got started at .25mg every other day. After 3 weeks of that, was moved to .25mg every day. After just over a week of the every day, I noticed I had gained about 7 -8lbs. Was first given Abilify which hit me with terrible side-effects almost right away. I haven't noticed any change what so ever being on this stuff and certainly don't see anything positive that would counteract the negative self-image I have with the continuing weight gain.
