since i've been on zyprexa, it's basically been a good med for me, before i just have erratic mood shifts, and thats why i was put on it, and i've noticed over all these years the calmness it produces, even when i was ripped off xanax, it produced a calmness and stability, and much less irrtitible during the day......yet the con of it, it makes me kinda blunted and gained alot of weight, but i tried to stop it cold turkey a couple months ago and had horrible withdrawl reaction, i didnt take it for 4 days, the first 2 days i noticed much increased energy and personality perkness, but then after about the 3rd day into the 4th, i started having major chemcial changes, i started basically skitzing.....horrible anxiety, rush thoughts, i had to put a stop to it and take 30mg, and take large amounts of lamotragine around the clock to prevent this tiniging feeling like a sieuzre because of the anxiety......and personally i do not like lamotragine, and i was a robot, i nearly took around 600-800mg of lamictal (not at once) but 200mg tablets 3-4 times daily to stop the sieuzre feelings........so stopping zyprexa at the large doses causes withdrawl reactions......
i mean, like i said it's a good med for me, it makes things feel calm and stable, but at the same time i lose kinda the perkiness for life, and feel kinda sedated calm and not get excited extremly about things, right now if i decide to take it, i think i am, but i would lose the calmness i feel, but to choose that or to feel perky and back to rush life feeling, it's ... well im gonna continue it, but maybe some days ill skip a dose, or take 10mg to feel back to normal
i mean, when i stopped taking it i realizing this was what i used to be like .... hyper, zestful, i was like alot of this gloom calmness is not me, and i have been on it for 5 years and forgot who i used to be off it......
keep it, maybe some days reduce dose, or skip 1 day and be back to life, it's just .. i've had this sedatedness for a while, years and knowing it's not really me, it's the zyprexa......
but it'sa good med for serious manic cases, and bipolar matience ....... but to take it for years it does cause some blunting effects
