Phidippus i've actually been at 5mg zprexa for the last 2 or 3 weeks. was doing better at 10 and wanted to stop eating so much so i dropped to 5 but cant remember exactly when.
i've been on a slue of 'mood stabilizers' and they all have created mood swings about everyother day. they actually create a cycle where there really wasn't before. This is the first real 'manic/dysphoric' episode i've had since 2004 when i was on prozac. i believe this is the result of my going up to 100 on pristiq. as i was depressive before so pdoc instead of augmenting with another ad he upped pristiq. took a few weeks to get better but then started getting TOO good. and he put me on zyprexa. gained 25lbs on that. i'm up to my pregnancy weight. ugh.
i'm refusing lithium for personal reasons and see that as my last resort. and i mean last last resort.
-i took my 5mg zyprexa last night. feeling mostly better now. i hope to feel even more 'normal this afternoon. still feeling a little 'icky' blue this morning.
(please give DH a cyber punch about the meds-thats what stings the most)
thanks E.
