yes. i think. problem is i want to stop taking it now that i feel better. but i told myself friday that i would take it for one more week. i did start to have some weirdness (visually) again friday so i talked with pharmacist, between you and me i think i knew more about the medication than he but i digress) anyway, we...I...decided to go down to 5mg olanzapine for a couple days and see what happens.
but i made appt with pdoc for friday. since i'm doing better i want to cancel. and save the spot for someone who REALLY needs to get in.i really want to stop this eating. Sat night i couldnt stop eating (made homemade bread) and you know how that stuff swells in your stomach. i felt like a bloated whale. i couldnt even pull up my sweat pants over my belly! now THATS Bad. i only have two pair of pants that fit me and those i just bought last month. and they are already getting snug.
i dont know why i "feel" fatter, as my eating hasnt been bad the last week maybe.
**************************
its now about 1:30 central time and my mood is significantly down. although i have narrowed my worst time of the day to 2:00.
but i guess this means that my mood has shifted down regardless of olanzapine? (though i forgot last nights, would just one missed dose do that?***************************
i work at a place that has great benefits so i'm assuming its just that my co-pay for old generics is $9. my pristiq is $31. and i think the rest of what i'm on is $12? i think all my Rx for each month is around $100. which is still very high for us. but i'm SO thankful i have the benefits i have from work. otherwise i dont know what i'd do. i should be more grateful, but i'm constantly reminded by my DH that $100 a MONTH is Just for my meds... :(
