Is Vraylar less likely to cause sexual dysfunct?

In your opinion is the new antipsychotic less likely to cause sexual problems in schizophrenics?

I wish I could answer your question. I don't know anyone who is taking it yet.

1. Is Vraylar (cariprazine) available in pharmacies yet?

2. How much does Vraylar cost?

3. Have you tried Abilify?

4. What drugs are you taking now?

5. What are the sexual side effects that you have?

If you have sexual problems with Abilify, you might have problems with Vraylar, too. The two drugs are similar in a lot of ways. I have been taking Abilify since 2003 for bipolar disorder, and have no sexual side effects.

Yeah, I'd like to know if Vraylar is available too. My doctor hasn't heard a thing.

I called the drug company last week. Vraylar was not listed as a marketed drug yet.

What does that mean? It hit the news as being approved back in Sept of '15 I think.

It was approved, but not being sold yet. I guess it is a matter of manufacturing enough to distribute. Its original release date was estimated to be in the middle of February.
