I was recently prescribed Rexulti 2mg Tablets as an add-on treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. I've heard it can help with mood and thoughts, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. Has anyone else tried this medication? What was your experience like? I'm particularly concerned about the severe side effects like neuroleptic malignant syndrome and tardive dyskinesia. Any advice on managing potential side effects would be greatly appreciated.

Seems like it could be a good option. I've heard some people have success with it, but you should really talk to your psychiatrist about it.

I've had some friends take Rexulti and they swear by it. Just don't forget to report side effects to the FDA if you think they're worth sharing.

Be cautious with the strong, uncontrollable urges side effect. It's rare but can be really tough to deal with. Make sure your family knows about it too.

Just be vigilant about the side effects. If you notice anything unusual, call your doctor right away. Better safe than sorry!

I've been on brexpiprazole (Rexulti) for a while, and it's been great for my depression. I didn't experience any major side effects, just a bit of restlessness at first. It's worth a shot if your doctor thinks it's right for you.

The neuroleptic malignant syndrome sounds terrifying. Make sure to watch for those symptoms closely! Feel better soon.

I've been on Rexulti for a few months now, and it's made a big difference in my mood. I did have some initial dizziness and fatigue, but it went away after a couple of weeks. Just make sure to stay in touch with your doctor.
