I’m newly prescribed 3mg rexulti at night. Of
Course the pharmacy doesn’t have it and I need a prior authorization before they can even see if my silver scripts will cover it.’I really hope so.

My pdoc did say he’s give me samples. I have a weeks worth right now.

I just checked Rexulti’s website they have a saving card that can get you it for low price or free..

I’ve gotten 3 expensive medications over the years this way at zero cost to me due to my low income.

Just fill out there form, looks simple

YMMV but the Rexulti did cause weight gain for me but my doctor still thinks it's worth it. I am on the other hand, grumble, grumble, grumble.

3 mg is a very high dose to start with...

Your pdoc must be very ambitious with their prescribing...

As someone else mentioned, it can cause weight gain. I gained a tremendous amount of weight in a short amount of time (20 lb in a month), so be watchful of that.

Since you're starting on such a high dose, watch out for akathisia and other EPS.
