PSA: If your doctor talks to you about prescribing Rexulti (usually secondary antidepressant), be sure it’s not prescribed before the doctor checks both your family history for diabetes/low blood sugar issues and your personal current glucose and A1C levels. A psychiatric nurse prescribed it to me without doing those things; if I wasn’t a self advocate who researches every newly prescribed med, I would’ve taken it and risked a lot of things about my life. Also causes tardive dyskinesia. #Health
@caaddison88 I was on it for a short while as recommended by my psych doctor. She said it would be a good adjunct to my antidepressant regimen. By week two I was get involuntary tongue movements. I tapered off and stopped in less than a week. Do not want permanent TD.
Do you notice that some of the newer psych drugs advertised on TV mention TD near the end of the advertisement like it's no big deal?
