Thinking of switching to zyprexa again

Things are getting really bad with noise and triggers. I feel my anger rising. I feel im in danger of stress issues and I dont think i have another play.

It feels like my neighbors are all abusing me and im ruminating alot. I need help

I think the Abilify isn’t working out. I think you’re right. It might be time to switch back to what was working. Have a chat to your psychiatrist though, they’re the experts.

Maybe you should add at least 5mg Zyprexa…

It’s effective,and you have enough symptoms.

I gained a lot of weight. But I’m on 20mg. So it’s a heavy dosage. But I don’t exercise. I barely move at all. So it’s my fault.

Do you exercise?

Oh @signless you have to do what feels right for you. Sending warm wishes and good vibes. Your mind needs rest sometimes and you need to find a good routine as well as the right medication

Thanks ducky :baby_chick:…im really struggling to be happy right now. For some reason the people in my neighborhood have decided to play loud music from like 4 am in the morning all the way through the day. It really really feels directed at me. It just started 4 days ago and keeps getting worse

Im gonna try to meditate :man_in_lotus_position: and focus on the positive. Im realizing that suffering well is hard and sh it lol…:pensive_face:

I take both Zyprexa and risperidone. After 10 years of being afraid to leave the house, I’m now working 5 days a week

Thats my experience with zyprexa too. Back in 2019 I was able to actually go back to work on it. I might have to make that choice even if it causes high blood sugar …

Anyways im glad your stable and I hope I find that again.

If it feels like they are trying to stop me from working on my hobbies should I stop or work on them? I feel like they wont stop until i stop enjoying my working on stuff..

Thanks @signless . I still have what I’m told are delusions but I’m working so that’s all that matters.

I had a worsening of my condition and insisted to switch from Abilify to Zyprexa. I feel more secure on zyprexa, it’s not a miracle worker but in my opinion the best ap for me out there.

Hope you soon feel better.
