In reply to No motivation - Even Zyprexa no longer helping., posted by deniseuk190466 on March 30, 2007, at 14:18:24
Hi,
Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. I am just taking Zyprexa 10mg now and again but it used to sort of make me feel a lot better than it does now. Now it just makes me feel more apathetic where as it used to actually give me more motivation for about 7 days after taking it.
I really want to up the Lexapro but the psychiatrist wanted me to stick to 10mg for at least six weeks! which I'm pretty pissed off about. I knew right after the second week of being on 10mg it wasn't going to work at that dose.
I'm not sure it will work at 20mg and its frustrating because that will mean I have to wait a whole 12 weeks before I know for sure.
I would try stimulants but I general, constant anxiety as well so not sure what the stimulants will do in that regard and I do worry about developing a tolerance to them.
I want to try ECT and I would even consider Deep Brain stimulation. I think I'd risk my life in order to try and have a decent, fofilling one. Maybe I'm just being melodramatic, but living life like this isn't living as far as I'm concerned.
I can work and function but I have no real desire to do anything, go anywhere, talk to anyone, etc. All I seem to want to do is smoke and drink tea.
Denise
