I was on 2mg for about 3-4 months. I wanted to stop taking it, even though I think it might have been helping.because I have gained 25lbs in 3 months.

He lowered me to 1mg, and it has been a week. I feel awful. Tired, depression and all that comes with it.

Do I need the higher dose, or do I have to give it more time to see if it works at a lower dose?

I am confused. All I know is I feel like crap.

Thank you

It could be withdrawal. I know if I miss a rexulti dose I feel physically horrible. Which sucks because I’m gonna have to come off of it as it is fueling hypomania for me.
