Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

I am having trouble understanding your spelling. If by "relxulii" you mean Rexulti and if by "floroxitine" you mean "fluoxetine", then Rexulti is indeed good for making the effects of fluoxetine stronger and more effective -- these medications complement each other to give a better result. Rexulti is not sedating, does not cause weight gain, and does have good results for people with depression and anxiety. The standard starting dose of Rexulti is 0.5mg daily.
