Vraylar

I've seen ads for Vraylar and was wondering if it can be used for depression. I know it is for bipolar disorder, but a lot of meds are used off-label all the time, and I thought it might help with medication-resistant depression. Does anyone have experience with Vraylar?

I was on this for about a year. It was in addition to other medication though.

It did effect my sleep. Which is not good at baseline. It also contributed to weight gain, which is why I came off it.

No other side effects for me. So, I would say give it a try. If it works you will be glad you took it.

Did you take it for just depression? I have chronic depression and anxiety.
