Hello everyone, I've recently been prescribed Rexulti 3mg tablets for my depression. I'm looking to hear from others who have taken this medication. Here are a few questions I have:1. How long did it take for you to see any improvements in your symptoms?2. Did any of you experience any of the serious side effects mentioned in the drug info?3. How did you cope with any side effects you experienced?4. Overall, has Rexulti been helpful for your mental health condition? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I had a reaction when I first started taking it. Rash and chest tightness. I got scared and ended up in the ER. Doc recommended I stop taking it and try something else. I mean, you have to talk to your doctor, but be honest about what you're feeling.

I wish I could turn back the clock and not take Rexulti. The side effects were too much for me. I gained a lot of weight and had unbearable headaches.

My doctor prescribed Rexulti along with my antidepressant. It took about a month and a half to notice a real difference, but it was worth it. I didn't experience any major side effects, though I had some nausea at the start. I'm trying to take it at night, but then I don't feel as alert the next day.

I had a pretty rough time with side effects. I experienced some trouble sleeping and weight gain. It was tough, but I found that exercising regularly helped combat the sleepiness and weight gain.

Rexulti isn’t for everyone, but it's been a lifesaver for me. I had agonizing side effects at the start. But I must say, my depression is finally manageable. The alternative treatments I tried before that didn’t work for me. I was a bit worried after reading about all the side effects, but I didn't have any major issues.

My uncle was taking Rexulti for a while, and he said it helped him a lot with his schizophrenia. I'm glad to see it's working for you guys as well. Just remember to stay in contact with your doctor and tell them about any changes.

I've seen some positive improvements in my agitation. It really impacted me and I was able to go back to work. I've heard a lot of people talk about weight gain, but I didn’t have that. I do feel sleepy sometimes, but it’s a small price to pay. I'd recommend giving it a try if you have other medications that aren't working.

I've been on Rexulti for about 6 months now, and it's been a game-changer for my depression. I started noticing improvements after about 3 weeks, but it took a couple more weeks to feel a significant difference. It's not perfect, I do get some dizziness, but it's manageable.
