I'm on 3 mg Vraylar a day. It brought me out of a severe mixed episode, for which I am grateful. It is a small capsule, so it's easy to swallow (unlike my 200 mg Lamictal, which I gag on nearly every day...and that's after cutting it in half! ). It has a long half life, so if you miss a dose you don't immediately go into withdrawal. The bad, for me...I was on Saphris, then quit taking my meds Bad idea! I switched to Vraylar because my pdoc felt it would be better for my mixed episode. Saphris took away my anxiety, but Vraylar either doesn't, or maybe even causes it. So...now I have to take something for anxiety too. FYI, Vraylar is new, and is very expensive, so you'll need to have good insurance.
