It might be good for you in ways that did not work for me. It feels like it stamps out a lot of brain activity that could lead to mania but in my case having coffee and having some euphoria now and then have worked wonders since I only had one episode of hypomania which was brought on by extreme insomnia. Generally as long as I get a solid amount of sleep, things would work themselves out on their own and Lexapro was enough. The Rexulti just made me feel too unfamiliar in a world so fixed, cause I get existential anxiety and need a little wonder and enchantment to get out of that. :-)
