Hello all. I had an appointment with my psychiatrist today. I am bi-polar and anxiety. I told her that I am feeling down and have been for the past couple of months. So she walks over to her sample closet and tosses the Rexulti trial box over. As everyone probably is, I was pretty anxious about starting it. She did not discuss any of the side effects. I have been busy online looking them up. And of course the big one - weight gain, is weighing heavily on my mind. I am wondering from the group here, if anyone who has taken it, had any weight gain on it, as well as any other side effects. Besides the weight gain I am also worried about the sleepiness. I have enough of that with the other meds I am on, along with the depression cant get out of bed.
Thanks in advance for your help! __________________ hrsn4fun bi-polar, lots of time in depression, anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD lamictal 200mg 2x day propranolol 10 mg 4x day deplin 15mg lithium carbonate 900mg PM loxapine succinate 10mg PM lorazapam 1mg as needed pristiq 150mg AM plus a bunch of other stuff for various thinks I have going on. |

I was on Rexulti for two months, I noticed no weight gain, in fact I actually lost weight while on it. The side effects were minimal, it did make me more awake and disrupt my sleep so I took it in the morning instead of in the evening. As far as effectiveness goes I can't speak on that as I have schizoaffective disorder, depressive type. It was not effective in managing my symptoms so I switched to something else.

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