| 5 | Bipolar 1 | Mostly just night sweats. So far I haven't noticed any weight gain like I did on Zyprexa. | It worked really well to get me out of a pretty intense mixed episode. | F | 38 | 21 days 1.5 1X day | 6/28/2021 | 1 | Schizoaffective | This was a horrible medication for my daughter. She experienced increased paranoia, vivid, horrific nightmares and daily suicidal ideation. This medication heightened all of her positive symptoms of schizophrenia. | Horrible medication. | F | 31 | 3 months 1X day | 6/12/2021 | 5 | Bipolar 2 | In the first week a little bit of nausea.indigestion and headaches.It all started to subside after that 1st week. | Vraylar is the best medication I've ever been on.I have tried and been on bipolar meds for 25 years.This is the first med th that is working for my mania.depression and mixed episodes.Its almost too good to be true. | F | 47 | 1 weeks 1.5 1X day | 3/23/2021 | 5 | Depressed and thoughts | None | M | 28 | 16 days 1.5 1X day | 1/13/2021 | 5 | Bipolar 2 with mixed episodes | So far no side effects except for a very slight increase in hunger for the first week and a half period after that it leveled out. | So far I really like this medication, I've been on at least 15 different ssris and snris and mood stabilizers. This is the only one that works for me so far, I could tell a difference after just a few days of taking it. I'm only on 1.5 mg but probably going to increase the dose this week to 3 mg and see what happens. So far so good | F | 36 | 28 days 1.5 mg 1X day | 11/18/2020 | 4 | Bi polar | Nausea, agitation, restlessness, extreme exhaustion, lithe need to move | Overall, I like it. It has stabilized my mood, but I can't get good sleep, and I can't stop twitching my eyes. Other than that I feel great. Will probably go back down to the 3mg as 4.5 is too high I think. | M | 31 | 4 weeks 4.5 1X day | 8/14/2020 | 4 | Bipolar II w/ Psychotic Features | Nausea, dizziness | I had a psychotic break a few weeks ago. Dr prescribed Vraylar in addition to my Lamictal. It is too early to tell for sure, but I really feel like this med could be the one. I am already feeling more level and my psychosis is really diminished. | F | 25 | 5 days 3 1X day | 8/10/2020 | 3 | Bipolar I | None | Hoping to replace seroquel as the weight gain was awful, +30 lbs. Hoping this controls the mania and depression but mostly depression. | F | 59 | 6 days 1.5 | 6/29/2020 | 5 | Bipolar 1 | Increased appetite, slight muscle spasms | I tried Vraylar several months back and stopped because of the uncontrollable urge to move and switched to Latuda. Switched back to vraylar after Latuda made everything worse. I am on Congentin for muscle movements and so far so good. I’m hoping to continue on Vraylar because my moos feels very level so far. My family noticed a huge difference after day one taking it. | F | 28 | 6 days 1.5 | 1/21/2020 | 4 | Seasonal bi polar | Weight gain... some insomnia... slight anxiety | This drug is the only one that helped me with the LEAST side effects. My chemistry is extremely sensitive. I failed in numerous other drugs. I like Vraylar.. I just need to watch what and how much I eat! I gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks!! Ouch! | F | 54 | 1 months 1.5 | 12/21/2019 | 1 | Bipolar | Bad mood, wanted to tell people they suck just to make them feel bad | Dry mouth | M | 30 | 10 days 5 | 12/13/2019 | 2 | bipolar | akathisia, insomnia, dry mouth, rash, nausea, double vidion, hallucinatiions | likely allergic reaction. Worked great in my moods, but i got just about every side effect. thought i might die st one point | F | 41 | 2 weeks 1.5 | 11/19/2019 | 4 | Depression | Insomnia, headache & increased appetite. | So far it seems to be helping and I’ll continue for another week or two, but terrified of side effects coming on. Been on many other meds. Hopeful! | F | 59 | 7 days 1.5 mg | 10/21/2019 | 3 | Bipolar | Insatiable appetite, anxiety, dry mouth | I think it’s worked for me. I started taking it in conjunction with bupropion for depression. Not sure if I would have swung the other way had I not taken the drug. | F | 25 | 30 days 1.5 1X day | 9/10/2019 | 2 | Bipolar | Just plain out of it and could barely function. I felt like I was drunk the nausea was so bad | I wanted it to work. | F | 35 | 1 days 1.5 | 4/14/2019 | 5 | Bipolar 1 | At 1st I could feel a change took time to titritate up , not really any side affects except increase appetite and weight gain , but that could be the effexor or just that I feel better. | I really like Vraylar, it has changed my life for the better, no depression or mania, I also take effexor 150 mgs and trazdone 100 mg for sleep, this combo works great for me, I have my life back,tried many others meds till vraylar life changing. | F | 58 | 1.5 years 1.5 mg 1X day | 1/6/2019 | 1 | Depression | Immediate hunger for carbs, extremely tired and aggression where I wanted to hurt people who have hurt me in the past. Not my usual behavior | My hallucinations did stop but I’d rather see ghosts than deal with this drug!!! | F | 51 | 10 days 1.5 | 1/28/2018 | 3 | Bipolar | Strange need to move my legs and arms constantly. Helped with depression but made panic attacks worse. No insurance covers this drug so had to stop taking. | F | 41 | 90 days 3.5 mg | 12/15/2017 | 4 | For Bipolar 1 | So far it seems to be helping me, just started it only been a week and a 1/2 and just went up to 3mgs. 4 days now I guess they say it takes time to build up. I'm thinking of doing Genesite tests to make sure this is correct for me. | I hope it works in the long run, seems to be helping but to soon to tell, been on a lot of meds for Bipolar1. | 57 | 2 weeks 3mgs. 1X day | 10/3/2017 | 4 | Weight gain, some dizziness. poor sleep for first two weeks. | Better than Zyprexa, but not affordable. Had a better outlook on life. Will be going back to Zypreza because of the cost. Only in the USA can this happen. | M | 60 | 30 days 1.5 1X day | 12/9/2016 |
