User Reviews for Rexulti oral

I was experiencing severe psychosis and massive panic attacks multiple times a day. This has helped me so much!

I immediately got anxiety and restlessness. I had to stop it cold turkey after about a week of taking it every other day. I was also taking BuSpar for the first time, so I don't know if that was what was making me anxious too or not but I stopped both. I'm just on Wellbutrin now and amitriptyline at night. I'm going to call my doctor and let him know how I feel. My depression is horrible right now. Would not recommend this.

Been on it 5 weeks. Definitely eased up my racing mind, BUT I can't stop eating.

Has helped to keep me flattened

I am grateful I found this medication! In only 2 days my depression and thoughts of not wanting to live was significantly decreased!!! The only negative effect so far in the 5 days taking it I think is feeling, ill, feverish, but this could be a possible virus so Will let my Dr know if it continues. But as I said it is a huge improvement in my depression!!!!

There has not been a medication that has truly worked well enough to treat my depression. Once on Rexulti, I was feeling so much better. I am also taking Lexapro with it. The two work very well for me and I would be lost without them! So grateful it has helped me.

Almost 40 yr old female dealing with severe ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, severe insomnia, and treatment resistant MDD. This medication did give me some mania (nothing like Homeland mania, just 15% more annoying), and my sleep is a bit whack but I'm getting more sleep than before. My first month, I just wanted to eat. I didn't feel hungry. I realized my depression was getting better and I now find laying in bed all day BORING. So, I turned to food. Month 2, I turned that boredom to working out. I'm now in month 3, eating regularly, still working out, intrusive thoughts still like to pop up once a day but it used to be unending. I'm also taking Wellbutrin, Ambien, Xanax, and Ritalin. Have not needed my Xanax for panic attacks! Wild. Take everyone's experiences with a grain of salt. We're all on different meds, difference ages, our brain chemistries are so different. Psychiatry is a trial and error game. Hope you find happiness and peace.Read More Read Less

After taking Rexulti for three weeks, I see a worsening with depressive symptoms, lethargy, increased appetite, and somnolence during the day. With its 96-hour half-life X 5.5, the drug should be totally out of my system in approximately 21 days. However, with my immediate discontinuation of the drug, I look forward to feeling better within the next few days.

Very dangerous drug! Worked reasonably well for the first 12 months or so but I got a delayed onset of augmentation and severe side effects including debilitating sexual dysfunction that is worse than some of those PSSD reports you read. Tried to taper over a few months and that also resulted in a extremely severe delayed withdrawal syndrome that landed me in the hospital 5 times over the next 12 months and I had to re-taper from a very low dose to 0.015mg over the next 18 months and still suffering debilitating withdrawal symptoms despite following a very slow and careful hyperbolic taper. I have been on disability support since and couldn’t work for the first 6 months into withdrawal. This drug is one that can have you physically dependent like some of the worst drugs out there. Consider this before you decide if it’s right for you, especially if it’s been offered for depression as there are many great non drug alternatives. Read More Read Less

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
