Hey all, so it's been awhile since I posted here. How's everyone? To anyone having a rough time right now, know that you are loved and I hope things get better for you soon. Anyways so I had a med appointment today. It's been almost a year since I was on meds. I have insurance finally and I'm trying to get my life together. My relationship is doing better. Bought a car today, finally and buying a house. So the new meds I now have are Buspirone and Vraylar. Has anyone taken these and if so, how'd they work out for you? I took one Buspirone at 12:30 and so far I feel slightley sleepy, kind of like a high sleepy. It's not too bad. Way better than Seroquel. Just wanting to know others experiences with these meds.

Neither one did a flipping thing for me. I even had psychotic symptoms while on vraylar. However I am very treatment resistant and do better with older meds like depakote and haldol.

So good to see you, dshantel! And with good news no less! I am very happy for you that you have insurance again and can get meds (and all the other good stuff!)
I was on Vraylar for about a month. I can't remember why I discontinued it, but it wasn't due to the med itself. It worked well as I recall. I hope it works great for you! __________________ *********  Mr. Robot Makes me sick to the heart, Oh I feel so tired. And the way the rain comes down hard, that's how I feel inside. --The Cure

Vraylar has been fantastic for me, both for psychotic symptoms and mood. hope it helps you

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
