I second Brentus on encouraging you to continue to advocate yourself and not see yourself as "difficult". Way more people than you might think are certainly not "easy patients".

Your discomforts definitely do need addressing, but perhaps there is a way to do so without Vraylar elimination. Brentus mentioned trying other times to take the med. Or, maybe your doc will lower the dose temporarily while you adjust to it?

I remember when I first started taking Lithium having nausea. It did eventually stop. Maybe not after two weeks, but perhaps a month or two. It can be frustrating and very uncomfortable waiting longer, but maybe worth it. Perhaps your pdoc will know if it's worth hanging in there a bit more.
