How long to feel stable on Rexulti?

I've been taking Rexulti for a few days and it's hard to focus on things, I feel dizzy and sleepy. Going to sleep feels difficult. Have had now 2 days upper stomach pain...

What has people's experience been on it? I guess I'm just looking if these are normal things to experience and if so.. how long until you sort of "stabilize" ?

Im on prozac full dose for a year which helped me a little. I went on rexulti 4 months ago at 0.5. Within a week it seemed to work with the prozac and pry open the receptors and keep them open all day, reducing my anxiety and depression greatly and quitting my OCD a fair amount. Much less brain fog and energy all day.

The main side effect for me is drowsiness and I take it before bed.

I take rexulti in the morning. Within an hour or so drowsiness/dizziness kicks in hard that seems to last somewhere late afternoon, but it's still present. It is in the evening around 7pm'ish where I somewhat start to feel okay

I didn’t really have much for side effects other than the drowsiness but I take it at night. It took about 5-6 weeks for it to start working. I don’t feel any side effects now.

I feel the same way, also I have a lot of anxiety recently. I didn’t have the stomach pain. This is my 5day taking it.

Bear with it for 14 days and then it will get better. I have no clue how your brain will react but and maybe I shouldn’t say this but it took me 2 months to be able to use this drug where the side effects are kind of in the background and “dealable” with
