Its strange but i have this effect now. Its been a month that i upped my zyprexa but i am more paranoid now. I am sure its the med. At the end, those are strange meds. I hope it will go away but i was wondering if someone had the same effect in the beginning of his treatment?
I thought my parents wanted to kill me slowly with meds when i started to take risperidone, when i began to take AP’s
What are you paranoid about? What goes through your mind?
I am just scared Andrey, I am close to scream by fear of the others. I am afraid of the madness idk… For my mom, I am not really schizophrenic. I had the diagnosis of borderline in the past. the meds act really strange on me…
This happens to me. I’ve gone full circle with meds now I’m giving up.
What’s your reason?
I can’t handle the side effects.
They each ■■■■ me up in their own ways
Maybe try a different medication?
I’m so tired of it
My Zyprexa just lifted my paranoia… magicfish, did you have the same thing?
I’m guessing this is the cycle:
- Have symptoms that need meds
- Take meds
- Original symptoms improve
- Med side effects now worse than other symptoms
- Go off meds
- Med side effects go away
- Return to step 1
Is this the pattern?
Yes I tried zyprexa also made me paranoid
Was so dozy and foggy also from it.
Went up to 10 mg then called it quits
isn’t it strange? wow…
That is correct sir

When you go to grocery store or pharmacy, do you go alone or with your mother?
Sometimes alone sometimes with my mom… I dont have so many issues to go to the shop alone… But those 2 last days my paranoia is really lifted by the Zyprexa, its very painful…
You started Zyprexa last year, right?
How were you feeling without meds, before?
without meds I start to have some really bad torn thinking which is racing in my mind that nobody loves me but its racing with some crazy speed. I also stop showering, I stop eating, I start to have some really bad headache close to vomiting and I start to take personaly what is said on the tv… never had hallucinations though… but I am really in bad shape without meds, its scary and its strange like state. I look very ill I guess and I can really die without meds cause I stop eating… the problem is that meds put my on my feet and make fade away this craziness but I am really still quite unhappy and I somatize a lot in my illness. I have some strange waves of energy inside me…
I understand. So you really need this med.
Why did you increase the dose recently?
Cause its was an year that I was on 7,5 mg and I was still unhappy, paranoid, very tourmented by my inner energy which was tiring…
p.s. yeah, I am stuck, I cant do it without the med… but its hellish now too. I have waves… I dont understand why it isn’t stable
