Anyone else on Rexulti? What are your experiences?
For some reason 2mg caused me to not be tired, getting 5 hours of sleep at most. Now on 3mg I'm tired all the time. I sleep from like midnight to 1pm. And I'm so tired throughout the day that I take like 3 two hour naps a day. What gives? My pdoc says that this med has proved to work the best so we're sticking with it. I want something new..

Are you depressed? I sleep like that when sick or depressed. If it's the med causing you to sleep 19 hours a day, I would demand something else unless nothing was available. Sleeping beauty is a nice fable but no way to live. (((Hugs)))

I take it at night with Seroquel. It lessens the Seroquel hangover. I do not find it sedating
Do you think you could work with your pdoc to go back down to 2mg to see how things go? If you're not depressed and 2mg works fine for you, then maybe 3mg is overkill |

I took Rexulti until about four weeks ago. I took 3 mg during the day and didn't find it sedating or activating. For me, it didn't take care of the depression so I was switched to Abilify. I'm sorry you're having this problem. Maybe this side effect will lessen with time if it is, in fact, the medication causing the problem. I would mention it to my pdoc.

Yes I am depressed. But I was before when I was getting little sleep. I'm okay now. Still sleeping all day but at least it keeps me from feeling.

I am on 3mg rexulti. I found the zyprexa to be sedating instead of the rexulti.
