I'm on 2 mg of rexulti now. Not manic or psychotic or thinking that every word I write is a gift from God. Only time will tell if it works as a strong enough antipsychotic. Otherwise it is back to olanzapine. I should say also that my attempt at breaking completely with cannabis did not work. I am back to using every day. It lifts my bad mood a little.

In the very beginning taking it I was completely exhausted but that side effect went away after about a week.
How is it going for you now wildflowerchild? The biggest side effect I've noticed are some mild digestion issues. I think it is helping a little with intrusive thoughts.
