The side effects scare me and I am 64 years old. Anyone have any experience with this. Would it make me sleep better. What if I want to come off of it. Any info would be helpful. Thank you.

hello, i havent tried rexulti myself, but a good friend started on it a couple of months ago. we message every day, and know exactly what she went through, and how much it helped her. we both started on venlafaxine at the same time. she had extreme anxiety, that caused very poor sleep, daily painfull stomach cramps, and mild depression. after being on ven for 10 weeks, she had improved slightly, but sleep and stomsch cramps were unchanged. was put on rexulti loe dose for 2 weeks, then her dose was increased. after a further week, thats when her improvements started, with stomach cramps dissapearing and improved sleep. 2 months on, she is a completely different person. much much happier, put lost weight back on and is doing really well. she still gets a bit anxious in the morning, but nothing too bad, and she knows within a couple of hours, shell feel good for the rest of the day. her sleep is much better, and now goes back to sleep on a morming if she wants to. not sure about coming off it. rexulti is quite new. its an improved version of abilify, though not sure how much improved. if you google coming off abilify, you will get a lot more info, as its rexulti's predecessor.
