About 2 weeks ago I had a bad period that lasted about 5 days. I would not have made it if it wasn't for the extra 5mg of zyprexa I took. I just get to irritable and crazy feeling where I can't calm down. I drink more to calm it but that is not good enough. So I start getting a uncontrolable erge to smoke pot. But I can't do that. So I take an extra 5mg zyprexa and pass out with the alcohol. After a few days of this it just goes away, even though I don't think it will. And suddenly I don't need the extra medicine, so I cut down and I feel content again. WTF. I hate these periods. I don't understand what causes them.
Its good that I talked to my doc about this a month ago, and I have extra z. So I can do this. I just feel like I'm doing something wrong taking more z than rx'ed. At the time I was at pdocs I was doing fine and turned down an rx for 20mg z. But then that happened last week and put a call in to doc asking if this is posible and could I have an rx for 20mg. Because after 3 days of that awfull need for more z I thought I would need it everyday. But then it just went away, and back to normal?
This is getting annoying. I never had this problem before I took the abilify 7 years ago. Ever since then I've needed a realy high dose of z, from 10mg before to now 15-20 + perphenazine. I wish I had never taken that abilify. I also have TD in my hands that makes them shake when I try to solder, even now. People think its because I drink alcohol. But I'm sure its not. I drank alcohol for the past 22 years at higher doses back then. The shaking hands started about a month into my abilify trial. It was so bad that I almost couldn't solder at work.
Anyways there is my rant.
Zyprexa
I will never trial anouther AP. I have such bad luck with the new ones. Geodon, blurry vision and now have glasses from 20-10 vision. Abilify cost me my job and degree, cause now can't solder, and went crazy and turned all my co workers against me. But when I'm on a good dose of z people almost think there is nothing wrong with me and wonder why I'm on meds?!

I dunno man. I take 30 Abilify and 1200 Trileptal and 100 Lamictal daily. Usually, that's sufficient. But, I got stuff going on...mostly being tormented by people now and then in my small, southern town, and...
...sometimes, at night, I need 2-4mgs Risperdal and a little bit of neurontin. Do that for a couple nights, everything smooths out, then its back to the main line up.
