I don't know what is wrong with me for past 2-3 days but I'm sort of giddy, too chirpy. I've been more optimistic lately but past 2 days I'm laughing to myself (i live alone) and it's weird.
So I wonder if the Emsam is working???
I started it back in May or so and had it really rough with anxiety, insomnia. Tried diff times, tried cutting patch, slowly upping. Anxiety would be bad, triggered more by simple change in sched etc.
I was visiting my family for a while this summer and it was really stressful. I have a 'dsyfunctional' family for sure. So during that time, my psych doc who i was in touch with, had me restart my zyprexa (used to take that before with another med before emsam). There were reasons I was initially reluctant.
Anyways it's helped a lot with sleep though sometimes i still suffer. It also helped a lot with anxiety. Though not totally. I started the zyprexa about 1 month back. I've started having more weird dreams, but positive dreams like I'm getting signs my life is meant to improve (so i'm becoming more spiritual as a result...chicken or egg first...).
The vacation was difficult but now am back home and though things in my life aren't fixed and I have a lot of fears relating to a lot of things going in my life which lead to hopelessness, but I have hope. am optimistic. I have strange dreams. And past 2 days i'm giddy/chirpy, have sense of humor.
So who knows...it's a little funny and weird. Thought I'd share...and funny i'm on very little patch. Only half of the 9 mg.
am trying to figure out what is going on in my life...
