Ok, I'm starting to be a bit scared.
I've had my Effexor upped to 300mg + 5mg Zyprexa. I get these very short episodes where I feel as though I'm fainting or falling assleep ... its very hard to describe ... its like a sort of short circuit is happening in my brain for a fraction of a second.
It only lasts a very short amount of time and then I snap back into it. It seems to make me twitch all over and my vision goes all blurry while it happens.
Has anybody experienced something similar?
Its happening about 4 to 5 times an hour ... Is this something to be worried about?

Camille-
It could be that you are experiencing symptoms of panic attacks, because a feeling of passing out without actually passing out is one of the most common symptoms. But to have that happen 4 or 5 times an hour is unusualy...it could actually be a physiological thing, have you had your blood pressure taken recently? When people really do pass out it is usually b/c of low BP.

Hi:
It sounds to me like your Zyprexa 5 mg. is quite 'High' as per starting dosage. Normally, 2.5 mg. is enough to add to AD, as for precautional manner. Because, this med. is quite powerful med. designed for schizo. that is pretty serious form of mental illness, as we all know. However, in my knowledge, this med. is a sort 'universal' for depressive episodes, because it has quite 'augumental power' to combat/alleviate all sort of depressive symptoms, such as yours.
Also, Effexor 300 mg. is fairly 'high dosage,' as seeing your pdoc. rxed Zyprexa 5mg.
Probably, ... (this is my guess tho' through experience, ...), you need to get 'slow' on both meds.,... like go back 'original Effexor dosage' combined with 2.5 mg. Zyprexa. However, you still experience annoying 'side-effect' in your description, then you may call to see your pdoc. for another form of med.

Well, hopefully I'll be able to see a doctor today.
Its getting a bit worse because I seem to really "pass-out" for a second or two and when I "wake-up", I feel all disoriented. My boss noticed it and I had quite a few during a meeting and I found that I had a very hard time talking. It was as if inside my brain my "thoughts" were clear and so was my thinking but I just couldn't get it out.
Also, its annoying because it makes me drop whatever I'm holding. I made quite a mess in the kitchen yesterday by droping the milk jug.

Well ... its definately not panic because when I do panic I depersonalize but I definately stay conscious. Anyhow, I talk to a doctor who's a friend and she told me its prolly the zyprexa doing it and to stop that at first and then if it continues, to lower the effexor back to 225. Its a good thing its half-life is not that long ... so I expect to be in decent shape this weekend.
Thanks for your comments and support

Hi:
One thing regarding atypical psycho-med., Zyprexa is quite powerful one, ... then some saying 'A king of Atypical' in good and bad ways, ... maybe. Because, your symptons is not severe enough for Zyprexa, you might get adverse effect rather than benefit from this med., that could be in your case, ... just in my guess, though.
Another option, ... if you prefer/need to take atypical med., Seroquel is one of the weakest atypical meds among atypical psycho-meds. Then, on your next visit to your pdoc., try to ask this med., Seroquel(sp?) that also is good for 'sleep well' throughout the night, in my knowledge.

Unfortunately, Seroquel is not working for me either. I tried it before and the sedating effect was way too strong and it didn't stop the visual hallucinations and it made me feel sluggish.
In the end I think I'm just going to have to accept those visual things and learn to live with them. I mean its not too life-impairing as I usually know whent the stuff I see it not real or it disappears as I get closer or read it again. I'd rather see a dragon walking down the street than not see it and be a zombie with mini-seizures all the time.

Hi Camilla:
I know that most of atypical psycho-meds. have 'sedating effect,' especially 'Zyprexa. When I started on this med.even with just 2.5 mg., practically most of days were like 'sleeping/sedating' hell. However, the decrease of Zyprexa was quite helpful, ... even the tiniest pill, 2.5 mg., I cut it in a half, ... that is just 1.25 mg.
Then, I have no idea of the dosage of Seroquel you were on, ... but try to reduce the dosage by cutting in a half that does not cause the effectiveness of the med.
Most of time, why some of people complains about the med.'s 'side effect/adverse' is because of the dosage, ... more than your system/chemical could adjust/handle. Like anything else, even the med. needs the time to get through, ... 'adjustment,' in other words, to give the time for the brain to adjust new med., espeically powerful meds. like atypical meds. If this does NOT work, then you may need other form of meds, ... like Lamical that is reputable for serious form of depressive episodes. Also, two different form of anti-dep./Anti-dep. combo.,... one AD is for 'waking-up'/stimulant effect and the other is for 'calming effect/sleep well,' and the like.Either way, in psycho-world, there is no concrete and scientific tools to rx, then 'trial and error' is VERY common. Took two years for me to find the right combo.

It seems the Zyprexa has finally left my system and I feel 1000% better. Its as though I no longer have this weight pushing on my whole head and the episodes have stopped.
I feel much better. Although I'm sure my regular doc will be annoyed that *yet again* I've stopped taking my meds (not the Effexor though ... the withdrawal effect are a good compliance argument) without telling him but it serves him right for giving me something so zombifying. The more meds I end up trying, the more afraid of them I become. Its annoying to play the meds-lottery game.
Thanks for all your sound advice.

Hi Camille:
I'm SO happy to hear/read your upbeat message, 'feel MUCH BETTER.'
However, believe it or not, ... probably, Zyprexa is still in your system. Normally, all residual effect of any psycho-med. takes about 5-7 days. Then, having seen your MUCH improved condition after Zyprexa, I feel almost certainly Zyprexa is the med. your system/chemical needs, IN CASE/when your symptoms starts coming back. This theory/analyze is totally through my personal experience, then I can not say for sure. However, this is most of cases for mental illnesses, then just I want to say for 'just in case.' Also, once staring to feel 'old symptoms,' try to take the tiniest pill, 2.5 mg. and still experience 'Zombi', cut it in half, that is just 1.25 mg. Because, this med. is very powerful med. although majority of people is quite happy on this med. ... even some saying 'turning the corner due to Zyprexa.'

Hmmm. .. perhaps you're right I mean in the begining I was feeling ok but after one or two days I started losing coordination in my fingers and then the mind numbing started, followed by being almost unable to talk and twitching and the episodes which went from simply being dizzy to stuff that was really seizure -like.
I'm going to try and see my usual doctor next week but its quite probably that I'll have to wait until after holidays. I still don't understand why he didn't start me on a smaller dose though.
Although its hard to tell if its the Effexor (going from 225 to 300) or the Zyprexa. I think its rather strange to change two things at the same time because its hard to tell what is the cause of improvements or problems.
I can't take the Zyprexa until monday though since I'm in Montreal and I was so pissed at the symptoms when I left home that I didn't bring them I guess in a way it will let me see if things improve or / become worse as time passes. My last pill was Thursday night so its my third day without it.

Hi Camille:
>>> I mean in the begining I was feeling ok but after one or two days I started losing coordination in my fingers and then the mind numbing started, ... >>>
This is due to 'built-up' Zyprexa. It sounds like 'too much' in your system, in other word, adverse effect.>>> I still don't understand why he didn't start me on a smaller dose though.<<<<
My pdoc. did the same thing, ... didn't tell the smaller dosage, 'take 5 mg., if this does not help, then take *10 mg.* I did this course, ... but my depression got 'really' bad, then I realized this was to be caused by 'overmedicated' Zyprexa. Unfortunately, you need to find 'things' out by your own. In this regard, you're NOT only one.>>> Although its hard to tell if its the Effexor (going from 225 to 300) or the Zyprexa. I think its rather strange to change two things at the same time because its hard to tell what is the cause of improvements or problems.<<<
That's quite true, whether this is due to the increase of current med. Effexor, ... or Zyprexa?
If I were you, probably, I stick to the original Effexor dosage, then try the minimum dosage of Zyprexa, 1.25 mg. From there, I am able to figure out whether Zyprexa is for me or not, although this might take 'quite patience,' and some more.>>> My last pill was Thursday night so its my third day without it. <<<
Then, you may figure out whether without Zyprexa, your symptoms getting worse. If the symptoms getting worse after the third day, then try to take 1.25 mg. Zyprexa to see it work or not.

Hi Camille:
Upon having read one more time in your previous post below, ... I feel that the atypical med. might NOT be a good choice for your symptoms. ....
>>> Unfortunately, Seroquel is not working for me either. I tried it before and the sedating effect was way too strong and it didn't stop the visual hallucinations and it made me feel sluggish.<<<
Then, you'd be better to stick to the increase of the 'Effexor.' As you might know, those med., Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal and several new ones are designed for 'schizo.' Since your problem is NOT related to either shizo. or Bipolar, then the chemical/formularity does not fit into the lack of your chemical in the brain.
This is just in my guess tho', in order to work GOOD, there needs 'good balance, interaction and harmony' among/between meds. you've been on. Thus, 'trial and error' is unavoidable.In my suggestion now is to try to go on 'the increase of Effexor,' that is 300 mg, ... in my recollection. And, if this won't give you any 'trick,' then probably call to see a doctor you've been seeing.
Good Luck!!!

Well, I know what the anti-psy are for. A) to help me sleep and B) to take away the visions. From what I know my depression had some sort of psychotic episodes to it and I still have (and have had for years) depers + visual hallucinations / ilusions although I do realize that they're not true as they don't make sense (i.e. seeing someone walking with an alligator slumped over his back) of course I look again and see its only someone with a bag ... or sometimes the writing on things is all wrong but if I look again it changes to the right thing.
In a way it feels like my brain is in a hurry and only does a half-a$$ job ... only partially identifying things and writing.
Its not all that disruptive but I guess the pdoc is worried about me going psycho and deciding to kill myself ... as from being depressive for quite a long time, I'm stuck with a repertoire of good methods that I researched during my previous dark moods.
Been feeling hyper since yesterday ... didn't sleep more than 3h and been popping tylenols like candy to kill the massive headache ... still don't feel sleepy. I've always had migraines but not this long so I'll definately go see the doc on Monday or try and get an appointment. Got to work on Monday though ... so I might have to grab something for sleep on Sunday. Oh well ... only time will tell.

In that case, you CERTAINLY need some sort of anti-psycho. med. to combat the symptoms. In my knowledge, newer atypical meds. such as Abilify and Geoden are both reputable for this symptoms. However, you're a Canadian, then I have no idea to say whether those newer meds. are available in your region. Unlike my previous concern on Zyprexa, .... probably a very lower dosage, like 1.25 mg. Zyprexa, you could try in this instance. If even this, a smallest dosage, your system/brain reacts negatively, you could STOP taking Zyprexa IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, you might get similar side-effect to the previous one. Then, be cautious!!! However, if you would feel some relief/benefit from the smallest dosage, then go it up very slowly, ... over 2-3 weeks periods until you truly feel relief/'well.'>>>> didn't sleep more than 3h and been popping tylenols like candy to kill the massive headache ... still don't feel sleepy <<<<
Not only Tylenols but also other pain-killer, you need to be cautious, because those over-the-counter med., rather than helping, it might aggrevate your symptoms. Better to ask a pharmacist before taking those med., including some of 'cold meds.' except Benerdyle that helps some of people for sleep.>>> ... only time will tell. <<<
I too agree with you, ... most of time, in regard to find the right med. combo. you need just time,... not other methods more than time.
Also, in my other knowledge from personal experience with 4 meds., you may need three different med., one is AD/Effexor, two is for 'Sleeplessness/Hyper,' like Klonopin(sp?) and small-dosage atypical-med. Certainly, just two med. seems to NOT able to alleviate the symptoms you have.
Anyhow, It's good to know that you go to see the pdoc. tomorrow, Monday.

Well with the symptoms I've been feeling (i.e. strange twitches, involuntary movements, fainting feelings) ... I went on Lilly's site and it says to go se the doc immediatly if you get that so I'm too scared to try and take a lesser dose. I`m already feeling the effects of going back to only Effexor (i.e. more depressed) but I don't want to end up with permanent brain damage or what not.
Called the doctor but he can only see me on the 5th ... so my last resort is going to be the pharmacist ... see what he has to say ... sometimes they have some very good advice on managing side effects.
Have you ever experienced similar strange side effects when starting anti-psy meds? Did they subside after time? If si, how long did it take?

Hi Camille:
>>>> Well with the symptoms I've been feeling (i.e. strange twitches, involuntary movements, fainting feelings) ...<<<
I forgot the name for this, 'side effect,' however it is fairly common adverse effect when you are on anti-psychomed, especially older form, like Haldol and the other older anti-psycho. It does not cause 'brain damage, ' but for 'nurological problem,' like twitching feelings and involuntary muscle spams during sleep that accompany with 'jerking legs and arms' without any alarm. In that case, Zyprexa must be NOT for you. As in my previous post, Ability and Geodon is lesser 'side effect,' at least newer ones. The 5th is pretty long for you to wait under this situation, but I agree that you could go to a pharmacist and if he/she is nice enough, you may get informative clue on this. Just sorry to hear this tho', ... In my case, just terrible sedation, even just 2.5 mg. for that my pdoc. surprised because the 2.5 mg. is very lower dosage for my symptoms, but after 2 weeks so, this sleepiness went away very slowly. BTW, I'm pretty robust/non-sensitity on many of psycho-meds., except for 'zombi feelings' at the start of med.>>> Have you ever experienced similar strange side effects when starting anti-psy meds? Did they subside after time? If si, how long did it take? <<<
Since I had no experinece on this sort of side-effect, then I can not tell, ... in regard to 'subside' and 'how long, ...'
In your previous post, you have psychotic depression, but anti-pshycho. med. is mostly beneficial/good for shizho. and Bipolar. Frankly, it's very first time for me to read 'psychotic feature depression.' Then, I might not be helpful on this regard, ... but keep us posted on your progress. I come here at least once a day after work.

It seems to be a kind of controversial topic among physicians. Adding anti-psy meds to anti-depressants when they aren't working enough and when the depression has psychotic manifestations.
When I was totally scared I phoned a friend who also happens to be a physician (always a nice thing) and she was totally shocked that the doc started me on 5mg ... saying that its one heck of a potent drug and that when she gives it she starts at 1.25mg ... especially since I'm sort of smalle (5 feet and 105 pounds) ... and it really doesn't take much in terms of drugs to get an effect.
Well, the downside of not taking anything at night is yet again a sleepless night. So I'm off to go grab my Effexor.

Hi Camille:
>>>> It seems to be a kind of controversial topic among physicians. Adding anti-psy meds to anti-depressants when they aren't working enough and when the depression has psychotic manifestations.<<<
In my knowledge, among physicians, especially pdocs, there is some competition(I cannot find a nicer word for this, ...), it's hard to say whether another doc. friend has more knowledge than the first doc. The most important thing for you is now a 'HELP' for your condition. Otherwise, you might get just discouraging comment, even suspicion on regard to pdoc. Then, if I were you, I do not contact/talk another doc. friend unless I feel she could help me.>>> it she starts at 1.25mg ... especially since I'm sort of smalle (5 feet and 105 pounds) ... and it really doesn't take much in terms of drugs to get an effect.<<<
The size seems not judgmentment in regard to 'dosage.' Here, in USA, a reputable magazine, 'Time,' ... even 8 years' old boy, taking 5 mg. Zyprexa. Dosage seems go on 'symptoms,' rather the 'size.' Because, this boy seems a kid his age, ... not bigger than other kids in the class.>>> the downside of not taking anything at night is yet again a sleepless night. So I'm off to go grab my Effexor. <<<
This med. Effexor is, I believe that a sort one of SSRIs, or very close to it, ... Since you can take this med. that is nether potent nor milder
, you may be tolerable to other similar med., just for 'good-nite sleep.' Sleeplessess is one of depression-symptoms, as we know. One med. 'Dysrel(sp)/Trazodone' is certainly good for sleep. This med. is a softer anti-dep., but works for 'milder form of Anxiety,' as well.
There are many, many different psycho-meds., but finding the right med. combo is truly hard. First of all, it's time-consuming. However, when a bright and shinning light is at the end, it's well worth for us to fight.
Try to be as positive and cheerful as possible,... the 5th of Jan. is very interesting day! H.G.

Well, my psychologist was nice enough to give me a copy of my psychiatric(pdoc)evaluation report. I wanted to know if it was the pdoc's idea to give me the Zyprexa or my GP. Sure enough the pdoc had mentionned Seroquel (up to 100 if possible) but nothing about Zyprexa.
The Seroquel was a bit too sedating but the difference between 50 Seroquel and 5 Zyprexa was like going from a flimsy water gun to a uzi. So for now I'm staying off the Zyprexa until the 5th.
At least its good to know what I'd been diagnosed with because its hard to be cooperative and compliant when at the same time you don't understand what the treatment is going to do to you and what the doc is trying to achieve. At least if I had been warned about the side effects of the AP, I think it would have freaked me less. Right now my confidence in that GP is close to nil.
It was interesting to read the evaluation ... I was amazed at the level of details included and the Pdoc's ability to percieve my motivations and feelings. I didn't find anything upsetting in it so I don't know what the big fuss was at the clinic when I asked to see it ... Furthemore, here in Canada its a civil right ... people who have files on you MUST let you see them ... so long as you're not judged mentally incompetent.

Hi Camille;
>>> I wanted to know if it was the pdoc's idea to give me the Zyprexa or my GP. Sure enough the pdoc had mentionned Seroquel (up to 100 if possible) but nothing about Zyprexa.<<<
It must be done by the pdoc., because I never believe any of GPs are able to prescribe such a potent med., Seroquel, especially Zyprexa. However, without an interview with you, the pdoc. was not able to rx Zyprexa appropriately as 5 mg. Zyprexa is normal dosage for the sypmptom, such as yours, psychotic depression.
Also, Seroquel is one of the weakest APs, while Zyprexa is one of the most potent psycho-meds., then its usage is fairly universal, from psychosis/delutional to manic in Bp, even other physical discomfort. The point is 'suppress/kill' those symptoms,... from the reading/hearing.
In the hindsight, not only AP but also other form of med. you and your pdoc. might be better to discuss and search for, because one AP does NOT work on you implies you might NOT be a good candidate to other APs either, ... from the experience. The newer APs, such as Ability and Geodon, you might be tolerable, but there seems still some puzzle. Either way, you might be ended up more frequent visits along with more 'tirals and errors,' for this I believe you are already preparing.>>> Right now my confidence in that GP is close to nil.<<<
I totally understand, but you should have gone to the pdoc. in the first place. Because GP is a doctor on all fields, ... not being a specialist to dx and rx, particualy mental ill that is pretty complex even among pdocs., then sometime you need a competent and experience pdoc., if your M.I. is so serious/severe.>>> It was interesting to read the evaluation ... I was amazed at the level of details included and the Pdoc's ability to percieve my motivations and feelings.<<<
This pdoc. certainly sounds like a good level of amassed knowledge in regard to pschyo. med. along with timely treatment on mental illness, for that you must be grateful.I feel that you will find comfort and peace upon meeting with the pdoc.
In my knowledge along with my personal experience, untreated/wrong med. just aggrevate/progress your M.I. further. Then, you need to act on your symptoms ASAP. The 5th is pretty soon though, ... keep us informed on your progress!
