I am fine during the day but 4 hours after taking my meds in the evening , its hell… I cant afford to lose 4 hours per day of my life… I am on Zyprexa and I dont see how other med will put me on my feet with so much success and without a lot side effects. but its tough in the evening after taking my pills. I become really negative, with all my questions of how ill could sit calm in a coffee with friends for example(I even cant do that anymore) or how I am gonna to survive with all my ■■■■■■ up brain…
this meds are really depressing I find… even though my will to remain positive 
. its a chemistry which I cant control, really…
My aps would be faster if I knew the rules
@Woet, I didn’t get your message, can you explain pls?
They depress me. That’s why I am going to have to lower the dose. I hope that works. If it doesn’t I may need to change to different meds. Maybe that could work for you?
yeap but in my case its a strange depression from meds. I really start to think a loot and negatively. for example I am here alone watching people on the tv and I am wondering how they succeed to be like that calm in the streets… they seem soo free… I know its just a bit of jealousy but my meds work like this for 4 hours after taking them… otherwise, I am not sure what depresses me more- my Zyprexa or my Depakote. what are you on @SunLion?
Why don’t you just go to sleep before the four hours is up. That’s what I do

yes @TomCat, maybe its the only solution if I dont want to change meds… but what if someday I am out there partying? ill say to my friends-hey guys, I am going to sleep now…it will be a tough and miserable life still…
or maybe the trick will be to not be afraid of taking my meds in different time if I go out some days?
I am on a schedule. My wife hates it. I try to go to bed by 9pm every night. I am also a sleeping pill junkie. I admit it. I pop one and if I am still up in an hour I pop a half of another one. But this routine keeps me from being psychotic. And I can function but if I try to stay up late I lose it quickly.
It’s all in your mind the pill doesn’t do this for you I thought the pills would make me in a certain state where I couldn’t go gym like cannbis you just gotta give it time and remind yourself your ill and these are all symptoms
@Supermanslice, I really think its my meds, you are not right on this one… me too I hoped its my symptoms but it doesn’t go away…
The pill changes you right? Bullsh1t I was like that too disregard your thought cus all it does is lower chemicals
I felt that way on risperidone and abilify. I’ve been on risperidone three times, first time perfect, second time depressed third time manic all were different doses.
I am also wondering if its not more the Depakote than the Zyprexa… do you know something about Depakote? its anti manic but also anti depressive from what ive heard… but I lowered it since yesterday just to see…
I’m on 4mg of Risperidone
