Rexulti belongs to a class of medications known as atypical antipsychotics. It is commonly used as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder, which means it is often added to a primary antidepressant therapy to help improve symptoms. Rexulti works by interacting with certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine, which play key roles in mood regulation.
This medication is typically taken once daily and can be taken with or without food. Its properties allow it to be especially effective when patients do not fully respond to first-line treatments like SSRIs or SNRIs. By modulating neurotransmitter activity, Rexulti helps to alleviate symptoms such as persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, and feelings of worthlessness.
Adherence to the prescribed dosage and consultation with your healthcare provider for any concerns are crucial for the medication to work effectively. Never stop taking Rexulti abruptly, as doing so can lead to adverse effects including relapse of depressive symptoms. Always follow your doctor’s guidance for tapering off the medication if it becomes necessary.
Rexulti has several FDA-approved uses, but it can also be prescribed off-label for other conditions. If you have any questions about why a medication is prescribed, feel free to ask your online doctor. We at Reimagine encourage open discussion regarding treatment plans and we want our patients to be well informed.
Rexulti, an antipsychotic typically used to treat major depressive disorder and schizophrenia, may also be prescribed off-label for bipolar disorder. It can help stabilize mood swings by modulating serotonin and dopamine activity in the brain.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a debilitating mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. Rexulti (Brexpiprazole) is used as an adjunctive treatment to standard antidepressants to help improve mood and alleviate symptoms when initial therapies are insufficient.
Rexulti, primarily used to treat schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, can also be prescribed off-label to manage symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). By targeting serotonin and dopamine receptors, it may help reduce the compulsive behaviors and intrusive thoughts characteristic of OCD.
Rexulti (Brexpiprazole), typically used as an adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder and schizophrenia, may also be prescribed off-label to help alleviate symptoms of PTSD. By targeting dopamine and serotonin receptor activity, it can help manage mood disturbances and anxiety associated with the condition.

Be sure to read and follow the directions on your prescription label. If you have any questions, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Rexulti is typically taken once daily and can be taken with or without food. Dosage might be adjusted by your healthcare provider based on how you respond to the treatment and any side effects you may experience.
Rexulti may cause various side effects, most of which are generally mild and related to physical discomfort. Side effects include headaches, dizziness, akathisia (restlessness), and sleep disturbances. Many side effects that appear when an individual first starts taking the medication often go away after the first few weeks. Some individuals may also experience weight gain and gastrointestinal issues while taking Rexulti.
Less frequently, more severe side effects can occur, although they are rare. These may include symptoms indicative of hyperglycemia such as increased thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. It is crucial to monitor for any signs of more serious issues like tardive dyskinesia, a condition involving involuntary muscle movements.
Other less common but potentially severe side effects of Rexulti might include neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, and altered mental status, which is a medical emergency. Individuals might also experience mood changes including increased depression or suicidal thoughts.
If you experience any severe side effects or notice new or concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention, including calling 911 if necessary. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about the side effects of Rexulti.
Rexulti may interact with other medications and supplements. Always consult your doctor before changing your medication regimen, including over-the-counter drugs.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming alcohol while taking Rexulti. Regular alcohol use may increase side effects and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
