What Is The Half Life Of Vraylar?
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
It will take about 4 weeks for Vraylar to take full effect. Until then, anything you experience could be an early side effect of your body adjusting to the medication. I would continue taking it at night. If after 4 weeks you are still not feeling better, you can consider switching to a different atypical antipsychotic such as Latuda or Saphris. I will also add that your agitation and irritability could well be caused by the Adderall you are taking. I would strongly encourage stopped the Adderall until your mood stabilizes. Furthermore, Klonopin can cause depressed mood, fatigue, and lethargy when used at high doses such as the dose you are taking. I would talk with your doctor about discontinuing Klonopin to avoid feeling tired, lethargic, and depressed.

Thank you for advising me. I have really struggled with bipolar mixed for 30 years now. The meds have improved quite a bit over the years. I want this Vraylar to work. Thank you for helping me think in ways that will help me give the drug a chance and for the advice on Adderall and clonazepam.
