2mg of Rexulti has been added to my cocktail. It has been a LIFE CHANGER but I can't seem to relax! The thought of sitting on the couch watching a tv show is awful.

I see pdoc on Thursday...

Anyone else experience this??? Does the doc lower your dose? do you rely on benzos to relax you at points during the day??

It isn't horrible. I am alert, feeling great and being very productive, but not being able to just sit and chill is starting to bother me.

Anyone experience mild akasthisia?? I feel great otherwise. What do you to to combat it?

Thanks so much all..

Hugs to everyone!

No Rexulti didn't do that for me but it got me out of a severe depression.

Abilify did that to me and I think it is in the same "family" as Rexulti so maybe they have similar side effects.

I've been taking psych meds a long time. ANYTHING can cause ANY side effect. The whole thing is super annoying.

Lol! Have you been seeing my doctor?

She says: Any drug can cause any side-effect in any person at any time.

It's true.
