"I was put on this for Bipolar 2. Within a week of starting, I noticed my eyes starting to “jump” left to right when I tried to focus on things in my hands. And I also seemed to struggle to maintain focus on things or people in front of me as well. Got worse as I kept taking the pills, then gradually went away over the course of a week after I stopped. It also made me super tired to where I wasn’t even hearing my alarm clock in the morning or was putting it on snooze without even remembering I woke up to snooze it. Rexulti isn’t for me. I went right back on Lexapro and Trileptal. The jumpy eyes thing was absolutely intolerable."

For Depression "I’m using 0.25 mg and on my third day. It makes you feel tired, and so far I haven’t felt any of the good parts. My mood hasn’t improved. I’m using it alongside Concerta to treat ADHD, and when Concerta wears off, I cognitively don’t feel really sharp. It hasn’t given me major side effects, but I’m not sure if it’s working."

For Depression "With my dissociation, it caused a really blurry existence for 2 weeks when I started it. After that, suddenly felt like for the first time in my medical history of 20+ different medication tries that finally something works. Then after 2 or 3 weeks of feeling really good, I became tired again, which was a common side effect of a lot of medications I have used before. (I have no idea which part of medications makes me tired, but almost all medications make me tired.) Now I started taking the Rexulti at night. It works really well again, and I'm feeling good, and it makes me sleep at night better in consideration it's better like this. Only was put as a morning medicine because I usually forget to take things at night. It worked magic for me. Doctors should say it may cause a blurry existence because when you experience it, you don't have enough awareness to realize you just see nothing happening, and it's over. (I take other meds too, like Scippa with it. I don't think it does anything, but maybe it helps.)"
