Vraylar up all night
I started Vraylar about three weeks ago. I had headaches the first week and then started to feel really good. Now, third week in and it’s almost 5 am and I’m still up. I’m not frustrated or trying to sleep, I’m just sitting up on my phone. I have Bipolar Disorder and the older I get, the more easily I get manic. Has anyone had anything similar to this. And, if so, did this improve? Although I don’t really mind staying up late, I do have responsibilities, as does everyone. I can’t be doing this for any extended period of time. I thought my sleep would improve on this med.

Well, Saphris triggered a big hypo for me. I was feeling great, and then it ended in an unpleasant episode. Call your psych tomorrow.

Vraylar is considered one of the least sedating antipsychotics.
I recommend calling your doctor and letting them know. They may take you off it or they may add something for sleep.
