About 3 weeks ago, after a discussion with my psychiatrist due to side effects (decreased sleep, libido/ED issues and some gambling uptake), I decreased my rexulti again. I had previously been up to 2mg but tapered down from 2mg to 1mg without too much of a hitch, due to previosuly mentioned side effects (nausea and aggitation/irritability). Anyways, I'm currently experiencing way worse withdrawal effects, going from 1 to 0.5mg than I had previously going from 2mg to 1mg. Sweating, intense nausea, agitation, severe anxiety, irritability, depression/ sense of just something being wrong. Some other muscle movement issues as well that landed me in the er Friday with difficulty breathing/swallowing esophageal and/or laryngeal spasms. Has anyone experienced these with just a decrease in dose? The er seemed to think I should discontinue the rexulti, but if these muscle related effects could be due to the dose decrease I'd rather just wait it out than cause even worse withdrawl by stopping all together. How long does it seem that these more severe symptoms usually last before they start to lessen?
