After stopping zyprexa about a week ago my blood sugar has returned to healthy levels… No longer pre diabetic levels…
I do not add processed sugar to anything and I drink diet stuff tho.
Zyprexa worked for many years for me but after about 10-15 it was too much for me
When I was on Zyprexa I craved sugar. I was in a mental hospital, and I think they had a lot of us on that drug. When they put out the sugar at breakfast people would say, “Gimme dah shuga’. Lemme have some shuga.” Between about eight of us, we would consume a whole shaker of sugar at breakfast. One time I checked it out, and I was third from being the worst of those who wanted so much sugar.
Wow bizarre man… I used to pig out on chocolate too often too
I still do pig out on sweets, but it’s not as pathological as it was when I was on Zyprexa. When I was on that drug I could not resist sugar.
Hmmm. Interesting… A lot of people dislike it it seems… Idk. I felt productive for years but yeah it caught up with me
Soo what medicine are you on now since you stopped the previous drug?
Vraylar 6mg lithium lamictal
One thing I hated about it was that it made me mildly depressed. The world was really grey while I took it. Also, I was afraid it would give me diabetes. It does that to some people.
And the new medicine doesn’t affect your blood sugar levels?
Not so far no… And the docs don’t think it will
