Just curious.Well, i could use an antipsychotic that is less prone to causing weight gain, i could use less daytime sedation and i could use an antidepressant. So it may help as an Antidepressant, it may help as an antipsychotic or it may do both.

Serouqel knocks me out when i want to sleep and Zyprexa mellows me out. I think that both drugs help positive symptoms equally.
> Have you ever tried Abilify?
Yes. It was pretty cool except for akathisia. I felt a mood lift and i did not have delusions.
> Rexulti should be less likely to cause akathisia than Abilify. I found that Rexulti did not help with depression. Interestingly, a friend of mine had to increase her dosage of Seroquel once she added Abilify in order to prevent delusions.
