Since stopping medications I overall have been 'slightly' better. raised dose of zyprex was causing too much mind torture and i was like a zombie on moclobemide.
in many ways i am better but it seems some things are worse. I worry and feel bad a lot more about my fiance now. That may be partially due to being able to think and concentrate better. my memory is better now. i can actualy remember little bits and pieces. whenever i am thinking about something though my mind goes blank and i cant remember anything. my memory while better is beyond horrible.
it's like I have no past. I can hardly remember anything. I have talked with my fiance for like a year and now I only occasionally remember small things we did, otherwize it is almost nothing. I could watch a tv show and I forget just about everything right afterwards... including which characters showed up.
and it's much harder to sleep now. on zyprexa i was like brain dead and i couldn't think about anything. nothing would come into my mind. but it was very easy to sleep and i would sleep a lot, always tired.
now i sleep quite little. even when i'm not thinking about anything. just very very hard to sleep.
and i forget what else I was going to mention.
I think regarding meds I was doing my best on paxil which works for anxiety. perhaps that is why I felt not too horrible on it? A few moments I actually felt I may recover.
perhaps I should try that again despite it being far from a cure. and maybe i should try remeron.
and maybe i can convince some pdoc i should try an anxiety medication.
