I’ve been taking 0.25mg rexulti for 5 months. briefly went up to 0.5mg after a severe depressive episode in March, but went back down soon after. I believe it’s causing intrusive thoughts so I wanted off. I slowly tapered to 0.1875, then 0.125mg, then 0.06mg. I’ve been off completely for 9 days and each day has gotten worse. My anxiety is through the roof (I’m surviving off Ativan) and my depression is taking me back to the pit with lots of dark thoughts. someone please tell me your brain eventually recalibrates. I’ve been here before and I just don’t have the strength to do it again.
