I was just given samples of Vraylar yesterday and will report back if I have something useful to share.
1.5mg/day for 2 weeks
3mg/day thereafter

Last night I took my first 1.5mg dose at 10pm anticipating a little drowsiness. At 3am I finally got to sleep with the help of Valium and Tylenol PM. I slept until 8:30am. I feel well rested. I think that I was a little emotionally charged yesterday because there's always that hope that a new med will be the magic bullet that will return my awesomeness (my mojo baby! yea!). So that might not be a great indicator yet.

Until yesterday I was taking Latuda 80mg and my doc said I was having a mixed episode now.

I also take Prozac 20mg (eod), Vistiril and Valium.
I was taking Prozac every day but today I skip every other day. This needs to be considered when I report on my progress with Vraylar.

For confidence in the med, my doc told me that she had two patients that switched to it and are doing very well. I have a great doc.

Day 1:
I can't say there is a significant change right now. I am clear headed. I have enough drive to get online and get involved in this forum which is progress to a degree. I don't expect to see changes right away. No side effects yet.
