I started taking this as an add on medication along with Fetzima which was working very well for me, but I still wasn't completely myself. I took Rexulti for a total of 3 months and gained 30 pounds!!! I am a female age 39 - Definitely not for me!

This medicine may not be for everyone but do not be discouraged because it did not work for others because it just might work for you. Like I said, 15 other medications did not work for me but I didn't give up when I wa
