Maybe depakote has been doing that to me as well and that’s why things have been especially bad lately? Buh

Klonopin made me feel drugged up when I took too much one day.
yes, I was like a zombie on it. I couldn’t feel, think on it. it was even accentuating my negatives, really. I dont invent anything. I even suspect the Zyprexa to have caused me more anxiety and fears… I guess when you block the dopamine on somebody, its no good. I know that it works for a lot of you but I guess I have some strange illness too. Maybe I should start to look for other meds…
You have got to take the good with the bad.
Maybe Zyprexa is also helping you in some areas @Anna1.
Pain meds make me feel high. I can’t take them except for Tylenol with Codeine.
I took a Percocet once and I was high as a kite.

There was no good wave, really. I am on aps since 6 years and i even cant go out. they exacerbate my fears you understand this? They block my brain to the point that i cant even think… I feel my brain on those meds… Zyprexa kills so much my emotions and my will that the only thing that i do i smoking on the coach, i cant get up and its not a nice sedation. i even dont feel a sedation. I just feel dead and heavy!!!

I swear to you that’s how I feel on Depakote.
I’m sedated to the point I’m living off my couch!
The problem is that it’s also keeping me from going to the Hospital.
I don’t know what to do.
I’m eating like there’s no tomorrow!
Maybe you can talk to your psychiatrist about trying other Antipsychotics.
Don’t give up just yet @Anna1
For me it was adderall. Wasn’t even addicted but helped my adhd. I’m on vyvanse now and I don’t get psychotic on it. After I had to stop adderall and take an AP… I’m still surprised I didn’t end it to this day. Lol

yeah ok, i see. But we are different. I have definitely loss of emotions per moments because of my illness but the Zyprexa was making me literally a zombie. Plus, you know what, after it take in the evening, instead of helping me sleep it was making me more awake than ever but in the same time very exhausted! It was hell, it was driving me crazy!!! I wanted to sleep but i couldn’t cause it was like a bad trip where somebody just tries to keep you awake… i cant handle this, no.
The truth is that now i try without it. If the things get very bad, ill retake 5 mgs of Zyprexa, maybe. But now, i want to see what exactly are my symptoms without it. I saw already my symptoms without the Depakote, i made the try…
@Anna1 You shouldn’t mess with your meds without your doctors consent.
No it’s not a good idea.
Things can get out of hand real quick.
you cant understand. I never have episodes where i am danger for somebody or for me… I am saying to you, i am quite different from the typical sharp episode. you cant understand me. I was always med compliant so i can always go back on meds. Its my right to try the lowering the dosage now. No doc didn’t pull me out of this for 8 years for god sake wave! No, i want to see if my dad’s doc was maybe right that i am borderline and not schizophrenic. there is slight possibility that this was true also, you see…
Stay in touch with your pdoc @Anna1
He or she should Know what’s going on.
ok… But would you trust a doc who gives you whatever med you want? Mine is like that. I also doubt a bit in her capacities. she is an oldy lady too…
Do you get delusional or suffer with hallucinations?
Why were you prescribed an Antipsychotic @Anna1?
There must be a reason.
no, i dont have hallucinations. I just have some false beliefs. I was very anxious and agitated without meds in fact. My ex doc said that she tries to lower my fears mostly… But i had them even on aps, maybe more than before too… i can be very angry or irritable but the Depakote calms me down on this. i was also very depressed. I have poverty of speech too.i also had some uncomfortable body sensations like always having cold or i was so tensed that it was hard… so, bunch of things.
@Anna1 if it’s borderline, you need to be in therapy.
It’s possible to have both. Which would really suck.

Seems like the meds help you too.
Yeah be sincere with your doctor- the old lady lol.
Don’t settle for less.
Oh, i definitely need meds yes. i saw how i look like without the Depakote already… But i want to see now if it can be enough too, without an ap… I also have thought disorder but it can be a depressive thing too. Or ill continue maybe searching for another doc. i have one in mind already.
Good luck @Anna1
I hope things work out for you.
Yeah I need meds too.
I can’t function without them.
See another doctor if you have to.
But don’t give up.
