Day 21:
I feel so much better than when I started the Vraylar. I feel more engaged and a little happier in the past few days. I hope it continues to build. I have some hope here.
No real side effects at this time. I started out at 193lbs and fluctuated but am at 194lbs today. I can live with that...but it's still early. My doc told me I won't gain weight but the manufacturer's website said it is a possible side effect.
No drowsiness or stupor. My doc just put me on Lunesta 3mg for sleep as I was having to use Tylenol PM and Valium to sleep 5-6hrs a night. I have taken name brand Lunesta before and it was great. I have a generic from Teva now and I'm not sure it works as well as I took it last night and it took over an hour to kick in and I only slept 5hrs. It's one day though.
I switched from Paxil to Prozac two months ago and it has made a difference too. I have lost weight since coming off the Paxil and Saphris....although I don't think Saphris put weight on in small 5mg/day. I expect to continue to lose weight from this.
Today I would say it's a good med. I'll keep you all posted.
