Anybody's LO having side effects using Rezulti, for anxiety. My DH has had panic attacks even before dementia. I asked neurologist for meds to help with this. He's not really agitated just anxiety. Not sure if this will work.

    My DW has been on Rexulti for almost 6 months. Her previous behavior with aggression and agitation is gone. It has worked wonders for that. She is also on the Zoloft generic Sertraline for anxiety. You might want to ask your DH's neurologist for an anti-anxiety medication to augment the Rexulti.
