post zyprexa tinnitus , finally subdued, whew

Posted by JohnX2 on February 24, 2002, at 19:59:46


Man , Im really starting to feel beat up
by all these medicines. I don't know if I
can take this swizzle game anymore. I just want
to figure out what make sense and take it.

So I'm off Zyprexa. I tapered the medicine and
experienced residual tinnitus. I've experienced
getting tinnitus going onto medicines like
wellbutrin. But this is the first time that I
have had bad side effects for many days after
quitting a medicine completely and its starting
to scare me. Fortunately the tinnitus let up
today.

Meanwhile I started Serzone a couple days ago.
This medicine doesn't cause tinnitus for me.
This go around it is having a tottaly different
effect on my body. Must be the Lamictal. The
Serzone is not making me feel drugged out. Im
actually a little stimulated. I feel less depressed,
but a little anxious. I think the anxiety is
startup from the mCPP metabolite nailing the 5ht-2c
receptor. This takes a week or so to down regulate.
Seems familiar from my last trial. But i remember
more cognitive dysfunction last time. Well, I
hope the Serzone can cure my myofacial headache pain and
lift my depression like last time, the only reason
I dumped it was because it made me so dumb and
drunk I crashed my car.

I am treatment resistent bipolar, and continue to kick the shit out of my brain, body, and myself... It's most difficult at times, but hang in there! I'm told it's worth it. Someday we'll all outrun the black wave. For good, that is ;)

Wish I could be of more help,
Jon
