I am just curious what do you feel. Mostly when it kicks in?
For me, the Zyprexa is almost as a candy, folks… Its strange, I know …
Ok, it got me out of the bed for the most of the time, but it still didnt affect my mind or my body bad sensations… My pdoc says, that it already helped me if I am out of the bed, so she doesn’t want to switch it, but it looks that now I need to pay some other efforts in order to heal this psyche of mine… Yeah…
The meds help a lot I find my ill friends, really… It was a pain before for me to see how they were helped by meds and me - nothing for ten years that I tried every possible med… But I got a bit over this too, I know, that there are many other people in pain … My illness is not typical, not by episodes, since a long time too, since a kiddo which is strange too…
But I don’t feel nothing when I take my Zyprexa, so share please what you feel on it? Maybe some high? Or some relaxation? lol… tell me, tell me Cause nothing like this here… I am curious .
When I was on Zyprexa, I slept 10 to 11 hours a night, and ate a lot of food. It took 30 minutes to wake up and getting out of bed was a struggle. On 10mg was my best dosage. I could work, but couldn’t problem solve well and had a hard time coming up with new ideas. Lots of brain fog. It really helped my symptoms, less so paranoia. I liked it, but it would be hard to live in it more than five years.
Olanzapine helps me a ton with my paranoia problems. On the downside I’ve gained a lot of weight on it.
But is it strange, that I feel nothing on it? I think its strange… Maybe I need more time on it … One doc was telling to me, that those who are at their worst, doesn’t feel their meds… And one of my ex pdocs was saying, that some need years to feel their meds… But yeah, it seems as a lie to me… Its been 3 years on Zyprexa…
But it doesn’t put me to sleep. It doesn’t really open my appetite very well, no sedation, no fog, nothing… The only thing, that its sure, is that I am not in my bed with it, with my racing thoughts and in life danger… But for my mental state, its still not working very well… My mom keeps saying, that if meds were helping on 100%, there would be no ill people, but yeah… Maybe I want too much still from the meds?
I wouldn’t bother you always, but my somatics are a big pain sometimes here… My soul literally hurts so much, that I get nauseous and need to lay down…
