i just talked to my psychiatrist. her take on it is: rexulti is better for Schizophrenia with negative symptoms and bad depression in bipolar I+II...Abilify is good for Bipolar I maintenance, some people with Schizophrenia...and then Vraylar has a stronger dopamine-blocking action at the D2 receptors, so its better for mania, agitation in Schizophrenia, and it does some kind of magic at D3 receptors, so it might help with processing speed and such.

she wants me to try Vraylar, next appointment. blah. I'm not gung ho...it can raise prolactin, and I'm prone to EPS and such. I think I so much as move, they see 'mania.' true story.

but...useful info, nonetheless. hope this helps. :-)
