So I ended up tapering down from 2mg to 0.5mg but that only lasted for 6 days before I started to experience intense nausea, headaches and vomiting. I went in to see my doctor who was adamant that it was not due to the tapering down but nothing had changed in my health or regimen aside from adding the topiramate and tapering down my rexulti. He put me back on 1.5mg but I’m experiencing irritability and intense anxiety and spells of depression and no motivation, it’s only been about a week and a half since I’ve seen him and I don’t think he’ll be receptive to my symptoms. Any advice?

Hi I’ve been on rexulti for close to a year now, I experienced a partial manic episode and because of that and irritability I’m being tapered down and was given a new med called topiramate that I’m supposed to take even when tapering off rexulti. My worry is the doses I was given to taper down I’m currently on 2mg and was told to take 1mg for two weeks before cutting down to 0.5 for another two weeks and then 0. My pharmacist voiced concern about experiencing delusions, aggression or hallucinations as side effects and that genuinely scares me because I don’t want to go into psychosis. Please if anyone has any advice let me know how you made it an easier transition.
