How are you doing with rexulti now wildflowerchild? I was also dead tired the first week, then had a headache for a few days and now am back to my normal low energy depressive state. I've cut down on zyprexa to 1.25 and the plan is to go off it completely when I get to 2 mg of rexulti in a few days. So far I am not having any delusions or hallucinations.

I’m doing much better. Mood is almost at a baseline level, no depression. I did run out on Tuesday and couldn’t get more till Friday (insurance being idiots) and started terrible withdrawal so just keep that in mind. Try not to run out and if you choose to stop you’ll need to taper.
I’m still struggling with compulsive eating but that’s probably due to depakote, although I’ve read rexulti can cause weight gain as well. I’m lowering depakote so we will see if that helps the weight gain.
