What changes did I notice?
I noticed a decrease in paranoia and the voices. The other symptoms, intrusive thoughts and ideas of reference, took longer to subside.How does the effect of Zyprexa feel?
For the first couple weeks I was very mellow. Now I just feel a little sedation during the day and a lot at night. I don't have problems with anxiety anymore. It's the strangest thing, but my mood is very, uh, "level". I don't know how else to explain it.Overall how do I feel?
I feel as though I'm making a trade-off...symptoms of schizophrenia for medication side-effects. I'm much more functional on medication, despite all the side-effects. I definitely don't feel like my pre-schizophrenia, drug-free self, but this is better than being psychotic and not being able to function.-melinda
