Hello there. I have taken zyprexa for about 2 weeks now, 2.5 mg every 2 days (SalArmy you told me it wasn't right but my doc and pharmacist told me it was okay). I don't see any real positive results yet. At some times, I feel like "wow where have I been for the last five years?!" but these are short moments. The bad thing is that the day after I take the pill, I feel bad. If it was only sedation, it would still be okay. But I feel lost, and I'm anxious and zombie. And this is not very tolerable. I feel a pressure on my forehead, and I'm simply "not there". Anyone has had these kinda side effects? Maybe it's because of the other meds I take? (Neurontin and Manerix). I'd like so much the zyprexa to work, and poeple tell me to wait a couple of days... But the day after the pill is so bad... I read some stuff on the babble, some poeple were feeling "zombieness", but I don't know if they also felt the "dysorientation", the short-term memory problem, the dryness of mouth and eyes, and the anxiety. I sometimes also have this strange feeling of not knowing if it's the morning, the afternoon, or the evening. I still wonder if I'll take the pill this evening... Thank's for any comment or advice.
Doo.
