Rant for context: My family doctor is oddly convinced I have bipolar, even though I have explained to him that my therapist, an actual psychologist, believes I have BPD, but when I saw my family doctor earlier this week and asked flat out for some anxiety medication to help ease my panic attacks (something my therapist suggested I do since their psychiatric dept is closed to new patients), he prescribed Vraylar. A medication he has suggested to me before, suggesting that Vraylar pays for a lot of fancy lunches with the doctors. At the same time, I want to believe my doctor is an honest guy and is genuinely trying to help. When I google anything about Vraylar for anxiety or BPD, no results at all. However the class of drug it is, an atypical antipsychotic, has been studied with BPD before.

TLDR: I've been prescribed Braylar 1.5mg, been on it for two days, horrible nausea and sleepiness but what else is new with a new med, right? But I googled it and it's a drug for bipolar, with zero studies or articles saying it might help BPD. Has anyone else tried antipsychotic drugs or bipolar drugs and have they helped you?

Thanks ahead of time!
