Zyprexa lowers motivation to study

Posted by rjlockhart37 on December 9, 2012, at 15:41:05

i've been putting it under my tongue and letting it disolve because when I ingest it orally it doesnt have any effect, or minimual. But I notice during the day....i feel kinda mildly sedated but the intrest of studying is not here during the day...it wears off usally at about 9pm and I have 3-4 hours to do my research and study on Investments, and economy and of course you know who....LCF.

But like right now its 3:33pm, I have no energy in my mind to try to go and research, if I do I lose intrest quick...its like its blocking my thinking in someways, but I also notice if I don't take it...I get manic like and start thinking wierd things, yet im not psychotic or schizo....what it is my mind adapted to zyprexa...and when it wears off it releases alot of dopamine...if I went off zyprexa for couple months I think I would go back to normal, and not need it and study.

Usally when I take it 12:30am, it slows down the brain where it feels everything is calmed down, kinda of relaxed mental feeling...like taking it easy... or like water on a mild fire, in the mind. And then I usally go to sleep within a hour after taking it.

It's still a good thing to have when I overstudy and get obsessed with ecomomics. Hope someone else knows what im talking about. Nicotine mildy increases my motivation.

well anyways....thanks for reading

Have you thought about a lower dose? Maybe 15mg? When I was in college and trying lower doses I found I had a hard time focusing on school. So not sure what is going on. When I went back to my 10mg dose, I remember telling my doc I was having an easyer time with school. 5mg I couldn't concentrate. I was concerned with everything around me like girls.

I find that zyprexa relaxes me and helps concentration on studies. Instead of being hyper and anxious. Yes smoking helped alot too. When I quit smoking in college I coould not focus on school either. NRT seems to help, but not as much as the smoking did. Guess thats why I didn't get my smoking under control till after college.
