Nothing bad has happened since stopping rexulti. Kinda makes me wonder if it was doing anything in the first place to be honest. I have no symptoms other than a lack of hunger.

I still don't think I have a bipolar diagnosis, though, and I just want to be on a stimulant (Ritalin) for concentration. I am already off my antipsychotic and doing just fine. In fact, I feel less foggy and more productive nowadays. I want to ask about weaning off the other meds during my next appt (after proving I am fine without an antipsychotic), but the lamictal one I am scared to go off of because of seizure risks.

I'm thrilled you are more comfortable in your body!

How long have you been off Rexulti?
Sometimes, it takes a considerable amount of time to determine the med is not helpful. I am not sure psychosis always returns immediately.

Help me out here, I am trying to recall... It seems like we'd discussed signs of an impending relapse within the past 7-10 days? People gave you feedback about this on this thread, I think?

Haven't you been on Ritalin all along? My brain is slow this morning!

Love Ya!
