...information on it. Is it helping you or was it useless? Did you take it morning or night? Any experiences very much appreciated.

I took it for the good portion of 4 months or so. I didn't notice much effect from it. Honestly the combination of meds I was on at the time was complicated. But I felt like Zyprexa controlled my psychosis better. Vraylar didn't really do anything for my psychosis (or I have no way of knowing if it would have because I took it with Zyprexa at the same time). Anyway, Vraylar didn't really help my depression either, which it was supposed to help with as well. I would say I had a pretty negative experience with it overall. But it might help some people.

It helped some with my depression but I was on two other antipsychotics (invega and thorazine) at the same time so Idk how effective it was for psychosis. I took it in the morning as I found it kinda activating. Wicked bad akathisia. Then again I was on three APs.

I took it twice. First time I thought it helped for a few days then I went up to 3 mg and it made me sleepy. Second time it made me restless. My prescription plan didn't pay for it, it cost around $700 so I stopped it!

Thank you Asparagus, Boots, and cool. I took the first Vraylar this morning. It's only 1.5mg. I didn't feel anything from it yet. I'm not exactly sure why my med dude prescribed it...bipolar depression??

I had akathesia from either Latuda or Abilify. I hope I don't get it from Vraylar, because what an absolutely horrid feeling that was. Wicked is right.

I hate when I'm taking a med and I don't know if it's doing anything, or not. Hopefully by the time a week passes I'll know how it's going with the Vraylar.
