I've been on Vraylar for three weeks now for MDD and it's like a magic pill for me. I've been so depressed for so long that I forgot what it's like to feel normal. I'm suddenly sleeping well and only 7-8 hours a day instead of 12-15. I actually have energy and can shower, do basic housework and run errands without having a complete breakdown. I have to pay about $500 out of pocket a month after insurance for this but it's totally worth it if I can feel this way. I haven't noticed any side effects except increased hunger. I don't know if it has affected my weight as I don't weigh myself but I'll find out in a couple weeks at my monthly weigh in.
I've been on this medication for 2 weeks and so far there have been several instances where I could feel going into a one of my downward spiral depressions - I could feel my thoughts circling down the drain - but I was actually able to pull myself out with breathing techniques learned from therapy and redirect my thoughts in a different direction. I have never been able to do this before; usually the gravitational pull of the depression is too strong for me to really do much of anything except cry. I think it works very nicely for me.
I was just prescribed this for some depressive symptoms and overall lack of motivation to do basic things. I’m listed as having mood disorder, but not bipolar. Also GAD, and PTSD. I’ve been working with my Dr and willing to try different things. I just didn’t realize how new this medication was. lol I’m always just a bit skeptical when something is new.
Hello, as a psychiatrist I have a great experience in using it in the treatment of bipolar depression when quetiapine was not effective. Emilia from the Czech rep. (In my country it is only approved in treating negative symptoms of Shiz.) P.S. I love your channel.
Does vraylar help at all with anxiety? My girlfriend was prescribed vraylar and her psychiatrist told her it would help with her anxiety in addition with Ativan and Effexor.
It regulated my sleep, fixed my mood, i met with friends, was out of bed, depression gone. Seriously did like everything. I had insane jitters though it was unbearable. When i stoped the medicine the side effects went away and i enjoyed a week of the effects. That was a great week@@coldfact.
But what is it about the medication that causes increased risk of strokes and heart effects? Whats the mechanism. Is it because of the metabolic effects of anti psychotics in general that increase the risk of strokes and cardiovascular issues and not something specific to this drug?
to put it simply, because this is a side-effect of stimulants. Vrylar is basically a designer stimulant drug. It likely increases heart rate/blood pressure a little bit, but I wouldn't necessarily think it's a big risk.
I am from Iraq. I need an urgent answer. Please, doctor. I used cariprazine 3 mg with Depakine 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at night, and the auditory and visual hallucinations did not change. What is the ruling on this case?
Hi there, I’ve just been put on Sodium Valproate (Epilim). This is different to Valproic Acid. Was wondering if you could do a video on Sodium Valproate? There is not much information out there in this. Would be much appreciated. Cheers

Hi I was just prescribed vraylar and I was wondering if akathisia was a common side effect and if that goes away or if I need to find a new antipsychotic
I didn't remember what normal felt like until I started Vraylar. A miracle med for me.
Agreed!
Was just prescribed 1.5 for MDD/Mood Swings ..wish me luck 🤞🏼
It works well for my MDD. I"ve been on it for a couple years now.

I've been on it for a couple years now. Works great for me.
Ive just been put on this and am worried about the tremors and other side effects.
Side effects are unbearable. At least for me personally.
Happy Sunday and thank you as always💙
Thank you!

Helped me but ultimately everyone told me I was very flat and it made me so sleepy.
works great for Bipolar 1
So what would happen if you were prescribed benztrapine to taper the side Effects would it work ?
My Dr. just prescribed me this 1.5 I hope it works can anyone give me advice on how it makes them feel
Dang. After listening to all of the side effects…I think I’ll just be crazy
My psychiatrist wants too put me on vraylar for depression. Can it be taken alone for depression.
yes, it's quite effective in this way for some people.
Would you say, is it any better then Olanzapine or even Haloperidol??

This medication worked so well for me but the side effects were unbearable :(
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to find something that helps you.
How did u feel it was working & what side effects did u experience? I just started but I don't feel anything different yet.
It regulated my sleep, fixed my mood, i met with friends, was out of bed, depression gone. Seriously did like everything. I had insane jitters though it was unbearable. When i stoped the medicine the side effects went away and i enjoyed a week of the effects. That was a great week@@coldfact.
I’m on it rn and I agree
Stay on latuda then.
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you do a video on taking Cymbalta and Vraylar
This was great!!!! Could you do a video for Caplyta??
Just wait a few years you will be seeing commercials on TV for Caplyta for antidepressant.
I had to stop taking caplyta after it made me feel like I had the flu. I call it Craplyta.

Does it help with Depression, very low Mood all my life
I've been on it for three weeks for MDD and I love it!
Based on your experience is 1.5mg an adequate dose to treat Depression?
That dose helped me

This medicine doesn’t do anything for me. Do I need to wait the full 2 weeks? I’m on 3mg.
How about now?

Hi I was just prescribed vraylar and I was wondering if akathisia was a common side effect and if that goes away or if I need to find a new antipsychotic
Yes, akathisia is common. May need to lower the dose.
Akathisia with it is bad
Good for ptsd?
It is used for PTSD off label, though I have not used it for that as of yet so can't say if it is good or not.
Can i take that pills for minor strokes
Not advised, discuss this with your doctor.
Hi,
I've taken it for years, it helped, but akathisia it gave me it's unbearable.
Discuss this with your provider as there are things that can be done to minimize this.
@@LevelheadedMind Meditation helped SOOO MUCH
So did u try something else? How long did u take it before the side effects started?
@@Thagel097do you mind sharing your success story for depression with this medicine?
