Hi all. I noticed quite a few of us have just started Vraylar.
I was wondering how everyone is doing on it. My sleep is whacked. I wake up at 03 and can't keep my eyes open during the day time. I may also have an increase in hunger. Not 100% on this. |

I'm awake at 2 am every night. Sleep is hard to find. But my mood is good and I feel good so I wanna stay on it for a while longer to see. My dr gave me more samples today and a savings card I'm hoping I can use. He also told me to take Ativan with my melatonin and vistaril to see if I sleep.

Huh. I haven't had any sleep issues. Feeling good. Haven't been hungry any more than should be (one of the reasons we're trying it.)
Though I was worried before starting it, I really haven't noticed any side effects(!) So far, so good. Been on it 2 1/2 weeks (haha, had to look it up). |

Braylar was a sugar pill for me. I went psychotic on it lol. Maybe I just wasn’t at the right dose but I decided to switch. I mean the hospital switched me bc the IP apn had no idea what vraylar was.

The sleep is soooo weird! I hope you feel better. I wonder if a benzo will help me with sleep?

I had a similar experience with abilify. Glad there are many to choose from since there is a such a varied result for individuals.

My pdoc gave me more samples to cover me and a script. I dropped it off but pharmacist warned me medicate won't cover it. They're gonna do a pre authorization and see if that helps or I might need to next see about patient assistance. I decided to work on this now rather than when I runout of samples.

So today I called pharmacy to see if my dr did the pre auth and he had t so they said to call them. Called dr office and they hadn't gotten that fax. Pharmacy sent it again.
I just got a call from my drug plan that said a drug my dr had pre auth a Has been approved! Now...how expensive will it be.

I get free samples through the pharma co. Allergan Patient Assistant Prog. I've been on it for a year already. Sleep is broken but Ambien helps. I'm used to it. I have gained weight on it but my dr. said it was the best med for rapid cyclers and mixed bipolar.
