Hi everyone,
My doc recently added Zyprexa to my med cocktail...it's been about 9 days. The first 7 or so days I felt much better than I had in several months... I was glad that I seemed to be getting a response from a med. I had been going through a phase of crying/despair, which the addition of Zyprexa stopped.
I was a little tired, but not much else in the way of side effects. I did notice I was blurting out things a bit, so I made sure to be careful.
Now I am on day 12, and the crying/despair has not returned, thank God. But I feel snappy/irritable and annoyed by things a little, feeling like I'm in a hurry.
I am not feeling as good/happy as I did right when I first started the Zyprexa. I am worried; I thought maybe I was going to continue to improve with the addition of Zyprexa.
This is my current combo:
Prozac 25 mg/day
Lithobid 600 mg/day (can't tolerate a higher level)
Zyprexa 2.5 mg/day
Ativan 1 to 2 mg/day, sometimes 3 mg if needed
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on here with my mood? Med interactions?
Thank you in advance for any insight!Roslynn
