im back, i took the zyprexa last night, i woke up normal, the past nights i went without zyprexa i would wake up nervous, or over vigilent, first 2 days was helpful in getting going for the day, after that too much anxiety in waking....
i saw my pdoc i told vaguely about the slowness i have from depression, when i don't take zyprexa i am more energetic but too long withdrawls get bad, the dose has be titrated down, but....
i talked and there doing 2 things, im on deplin now, in the morning, and said Lithium will be replacement for lamictal if it doenst improve know lithium is a mood stablizer ... the oldest mood stablizer, said it was used an antidepressant years ago, but it has along side effects, said if i go out in the sun too long like heat levels could jack up the blood levels.....get blood work done every month, i'm not sure if going to do lithium, but she said in the past, that lithium was one of the first mood medications......
but with that being said, i'm titrating myself down to 10mg at night, cut the pill in half, zyprexa really chills me out, but after years of using it, it started causing me to gain weight, made me slow in cognitive, in some ways get dumber, not joking, everything went into zyprexa ease.......then getting off it is hell.....
but just now, im on the deplin, and if the depression continues she said lithium would may be used, also said that something that deplin is a folic acid drug and helps the systhnisi of nueros, and that lamictal can cause some depression, and that lithium would be replacement
zyprexa is good for emergencies in manic and agitated states, but being used all the time, you gain weight, get slower in cognitive, its a good medication, but if i want to wake up and smell the roses, i need to get off it, not sure if im gonna tell the doctor, just use it PRN......
