Hello. I have had great success taking Rexulti 2MG (added onto my other antidepressant for MDD) since 2017. My doctor increased the dosage to 2.5MG because of the return of some depression symptoms (low motivation, energy, sadness) The target dose for depression is 2MG but can go up to 3.
Has anyone benefited from increasing the dose above 2MG for depression symptoms? I’m wondering if there is room for improvement since I’m already at 2MG. Thanks!

When the medication information states that it can be used up to a certain dose, that usually means it's because those doses have been found to be helpful, otherwise, they usually state that no beneficial effect was found from increasing the dose. Thus, it would likely be best to follow your doctor's instructions, and try the new dose.

The FDA lists the most common side effeccts of Rexulti as possibly including nausea, headache, heartburn, weight gain, restlessness, and blurred vision.

Have you started the new dose, yet?
