Why do I feel like sh*t all the time?

Posted by Zyprexa on March 19, 2013, at 19:17:47

Its like the zyprexa does not work right now. Lately I don't feel like eating and it has become more of a task to just get enough in me. Also mood has been realy bad lately. I'm not happy like I used to be on zyprexa. My body does not feel good. I drink all the time now just to be ok. Plus anouther smoky thing I wont mention. Thats the only way I can eat now. I realy feel sick. I'm in bad moods all day at work, and there is nothing I can do! I try to hold it in but its killing me. I thought it was the generic zyprexa but I took brand last night and no difference. I'm afraid to come off the zyprexa because I might feel worse. What do I do?

I'm taking:Zyprexa 10mg plus an extra 5mg twice a week
Perphenazine 12mg x3/day
Sertraline 150mg
Bupropion SR 200mg.

hey zyprexa....i ... you have the vary similar thing im going through right now....my meds have resistance, but what i think maybe your case...the tyroid...if you have a low thyroid it can cause things to get depressing and gloomy ...its working so sluggishly....the body feel sluggish....mood, energy, the whole feeling.

The only thing i could say right now is red bulls, or coffee at low to moderate doses to help with mood and energy...don't do it excessive because too much caffeine will cause bad moods and irrtibility.....

B12 would may help with mood....

when i started zyprexa in a mental hosptial the first feeling was like this numb feeling, or calming of thoughts, but after time went by after years it lost the effect....it sometimes will work and others has minimal effect with me. The only thing i could give recommendation for meds is mild stimulant with wellbutrin....that would help with the mood.

hang in there...

This is really weird, I took a 10 mg brand last night and it worked perfectly! Slept through the whole night, feel great. Why didn't the 15 mg Zyprexa I took the night before do nothing. And B2, sometimes the generic works as good as the brand but other times the brand does not work. But I think you are right the brand works better. For this week I'm taking all brand name. The odd thing that worked well was taking generic all the time and 5 mg brand twice a week, not sure why that worked well.

im just so glad it did relieve symptoms for you...
i dont know why but i am So leary of generics.
i just seem sensitive to them but something tells me the rules they need to abide by have also gotten more...uh generous? or shall i say, less lenient as to inactive ingredients...

i personally believe that has a lot to do with things.

Best wishes Z-man
