I feel alone on this even here 
… I don’t understand how no one here is not smashed by his ap after it take… In the day, I don’t feel it, but after it take, in the evening, its very bad… It kills my energy, it makes me weak, I cant even move, no desire to talk, I even get some fear like… Its not strange for those kind of meds, they kill the dopamine, the hormone of the happiness… But I cant switch the Zyprexa… The other aps were having other side effects which were making me crazier or were ineffective… How I am gonna to function in the future with such evenings? 
…
Gosh…
Plus I am still not recovered really… I fight in the day on my own a bit… My Zyprexa helps me to be out of bed, but it never helped my mental…
But who else feels bad too when his med kicks in?
It sux…
I feel smashed. I just have to ride through it and accept it’s worth it for my illness.
I’m sorry you hate it, you are not alone.
That’s a pretty common reaction, actually. The sedation from APs is why so many of us take them before bed and a lot of people sleep way more than average.
Thank you, dear @Pamito. But are you smashed to the point, that you cant even move? Its like this here … Plus, for some hour after it take, it lowers my energy so much, that I am very weak, like with low blood pressure and with more fear in fact…
I don’t plan to stop the meds at all, but this thing kills hours of my day, I cant function then… I wonder what i’ll do if I want to go out in the evening one day…
Yes, sometimes, I can’t even move. I don’t take my meds if I go out in the evening. I need to be home by 9 to take my meds.
You’re not alone. You just might have to accept that these drugs are powerful and we have to compromise our lives by taking them, but they help us from not being a danger to ourselves and others.
Me, too. My APs drain everything out of me. I have to take a morning dose and a nighttime dose, and it is awful. They put me to sleep, and I’m in a fog when I wake up for the rest of the day. I have no motivation, I have low blood pressure (not sure if that’s related), and I don’t do anything. My family is great, but my APs are just killing me.
Risperidone has been both my savior and the bane of my existence.
I don’t go out in the evening anymore. My AP smashes my night life.
In fact the Zyprexa suppresses my thinking in the evening… It literally shuts off my brain. And this is very painful mentally and even physically… I thought before its the illness, but nope, its the kick of the Zyprexa… Even my body is in pain, cause its not natural to have a brain on off position…
Folks, is there a chance, that i’ll feel less this shutting off once I get really more alive and energetic in the day? When I recover on the negatives and once my brain gets used to be more ‘‘alive’’ again?
But yeah, I have my doubts… This chemistry is too strong… It shuts off all my progress made in the day …
Do you feel the same on Zyprexa? I wonder how you don’t feel it like this? I have another ill friend and its the same with her on Zyprexa… It shuts her off too for everything…
