Hi Zyprexa
well,i took my first dose wed night and only felt a mild mild sense of somnolence, didnt take any xanax (just due to irrational fear) and didnt sleep that well. next morning took second dose, stayed home from work ready for anything and...nothing. not even slightly tired.
so this is good right? or is it. however i also haven't noticed any major effect on my anxiety.
i am taking morning dose today as we 'speak'. so i guess i just wait and see.
i see pdoc for follow up on next friday.
i guess he'll decide whats best, up med or stay for a while longer.
i keep hearing its a potent drug but i'm on such a small dose (2mg bid) so i'm not sure really what its supposed to be helping with.but OMG thank you SO much for you support during my crazed anxiety freak-OUT about the med.
*********
the crazy thing is. i did some searching and i actually think ive been on it before??
with my first pregnancy i had hyperemesis and after a few months of nothing working and my weight dropping they finally tried a new drug that i had to inject into my saline bag which i THINK was perphenazine! at first i thought it was like premethazine (like in the cough syrup) it sounded something like that. but now reading online that it can Sometimes be used with patients with hyperemesis...i just really wonder!
id have to call my OB's office and check i guess.sorry so long
Thanks for everything
b2c.
