Indeed, but it doesn't necessarily translate to duration of efficacy.
That's just not true. 5 Half Lifes, no matter your dose you got. 5 Half Lifes x 21 Days makes 105 Days. Now, if you are clever and use an strong inducer like St. John's Wort, it you can count it 55 Days.Not to mention the drug is accumulated after taking multiple capsules over the course of the prescribing. 30-45 days worth of vraylar intake means anywhere from 1.5-6 mg of vraylar per day. As that adds up, it makes an accurate half life rather difficult to calculate. My estimates showed 420 days approximated.
Your math here seems quite iffyThat's just not true. 5 Half Lifes, no matter your dose you got. 5 Half Lifes x 21 Days makes 105 Days. Now, if you are clever and use an strong inducer like St. John's Wort, it you can count it 55 Days.
Ah, well. I'm an alcoholic with a fungal infection in my guts. It's gonna take some serious man-power to grow up from this.Drugs can often cause side effects that can last outside of the drug having been fully eliminated.
This is why people can have PAWS from alcohol, opioids, etc... Or attention, energy & mood problems after they've come off a stimulant.
How long these side effects last varies from drug to drug and from person to person, how long you were on them, dosage, etc...
(Although I only took vraylar for a few days back at the end of October and am still having eye-lid twitches & it wasn't a very big dose).
I'm not at all shocked that you'd still be having some issues iridescentblack. I feel you!
Why so? St. John's Wort cuts the Half Life of Vraylar in half. Sorry, but your calculations seems a bit off. There is no possibility, that Vrlaylar causing you the problems. Maybe you have lasting side effects, but i remember seeing you also in the Invega Sustena Thread, so i think it must be more of that.Your math here seems quite iffy
Whoever you're referring to in your post is obviously you. The calculation I did was for myself. No one else.
You're wrong about everything you said there; not to mention the hypocrisy of your post: you seem to be bragging about your potential recovery from Vraylar, stating you'll be recovered after 55 days and yet, you suggest that Invega Sustenna lasts in the system for more than 7 years. What the hell are you even saying?Why so? St. John's Wort cuts the Half Life of Vraylar in half. Sorry, but your calculations seems a bit off.

What is the basic premise of vraylar ?Bump (because I'm pretty sure there's someone out there looking for a thread like this)
Is it possible one of the mods could get this one linked up to google and bing searches and such? I know they did that for the Invega Sustenna thread
Update: Vraylar is almost completely gone from my system. The worst of my systems came earlier this month and sometime before that is probably when it started. Felt like every once in a while a giant pole would get jammed up my ass and go up my spine! Then there was this other psychosomatic symptom where it felt like pieces of rebar were in my back and were trying to twist one way and the slightest thing could make the "rebar" dance from side to side like someone was holding it in their hands like a makeshift steering wheel.
Anyway, a note on Vraylar: it has what I refer to as an effective period of it's administration and efficacy that was actually decent! Every other portion of dealing with it sucked! But that one period of about six months or less was probably when the medication had reached it's so called baseline. Since it's a long-acting antipsychotic, I guess it kind of does that. When I first took it though I kept getting severe muscle stiffness in my right leg (and even now, which I'll get into) and then there was the nausea and the sleep problems. Akathisia didn't set into until way later on this drug. But nowadays the only symptom I still get, now that the psychosomatic stuff is gone is leg stiffness.
Vraylar seems to be one of those meds that has various phases that kind of overlap the neighboring stages to some degree. Coming off the drug is similar to first taking it, I think. The symptoms that first start with taking it are likened to the ones that come at the end. In this case I don't nausea though, but my sleep is somewhat messed up... With the one major symptom remaining being leg stiffness it makes it hard to go anywhere again. So I've chosen to just wait it out.
Gave vraylar. It still sits in my safe at 1500 a script.I agree. I almost feel like I was mentally injured by vraylar. I stopped taking it. No thank you!
I don't have schizophrenia or bi-polar & I can't see how it would help my depression with all the insane side effects.
It lowers or 'balances' the amount of dopamine in a person's brain.What is the basic premise of vraylar ?
So why would someone co commit this drug with adderall IYO?It lowers or 'balances' the amount of dopamine in a person's brain.
People with schizophrenia or mania often have higher levels of dopamine in their brain.
I'm pretty sure it works on other receptors or on other mechanisms just based on my experience taking it and the side effect it causes.
And yes it is a very expensive new drug.
So why would someone co commit this drug with adderall IYO?
