It's possible. I don't know if it's elevating my mood. I was feeling horribly depressed before on 3mg, and 4mg just made me feel better within days. I don't know if APs work that fast, but I was feeling A LOT better. Going from bad suicidal thoughts and doing "research" to feeling happy go lucky in days.
I had done the car purchase (which I mentioned in my previous post to Christina) when I was on 4mg of Rexulti. I had been spending excessive amounts of cash every month... also when I was on 4mg of Rexulti.
On 1mg, 2mg, and 3mg, I had periods of depression and never really spent any money either, and I definitely didn't drive recklessly. I was not doing 110 mph on my way to work like I was on 4mg. (Yes, literally 110 mph. As you know very well, Massachusetts state police practically never patrols the highways except I90 where the state police station is... so you can get away with it unfortunately.)
I want to say that I maybe I am experiencing stability -- since I have been bouncing around a lot with different med changes, some of which I've done myself, admittedly -- but I think I'm getting racing thoughts as well. I'm thinking about way too many things at once and it's like... BRAIN OVERLOAD...
...yet my sleep is 10:30pm until 7am, with some awakenings. But I think I'm getting at least 7 hours a night even *with* the awakenings.
