I am at my wit's end with trying so many medications and achieving minimal response. Is anyone in this forum taking or have taken Vraylar? If so, how is it going? I'm also undergoing ECT and am yet to find relief. It's like nothing works and I'm getting so tired of this suffering.

I tried Rexulti and it didn't do anything for me; I wonder if I'm giving these meds enough time to exert therapeutic level. Good thing about Rexulti is I don't remember any side effects from it; good or bad.
Hopefully, Rexulti will work on you and Vraylar or ECT will work on me.
