I don’t personally know the reaction and/or combination but it would be a good idea for read the withdrawal symptoms for Zyprexa. I’m not saying that it is bad for you and wrong for you but it might be good to ask more questions at the pharmacist.
Might be a good idea to ask your pharmacist about this… I read some of the side effects when removing oneself from Zyprexaand it would be cause for concern on some of the withdrawal aspects.
Hi, Mark. I have no idea why, but your comments went straight to Spam. I just saw and approved them. Yes, that’s what I’ve been reading about (and weight gain). I decided to wait a bit until October, and hopefully I’ll talk to her again if this is really the best option. I’m really lost here, I need meds that allow me to work and study; thank you for the idea, I hadn’t thought about asking a pharmacist tbh.
What sedative do you take? Severe depression; suicidal thoughts, self loathing, concentration problems, hopelessness, unexplained pains, etc. The list goes on.
Tristeza,
I have all those! lorazepam 1mg, i take it when i feel i need to, a couple a day perhaps or days with out, it gets me through and i feel normal.
I’m probably close to the edge tbh. From what it seems pristiq is extremely addictive, that’s one of the reasons why I’m worried. Hopefully I’m wrong… I really wanted to hear something from people that have tried this combo of meds. I’m going to talk to her again soon, but I’m almost positive that I’m going to follow her medical advice asap (I confess I’m not happy with the idea). I keep staring at the prescription. I have nothing to lose anymore at this point though I really don’t want to be a zombie.
I’m glad you found something that helps you, rocketman
Tristeza,
i’m not a doctor, but i’ve noticed that people who countue to take something like prozac and on and on, don’t get better really they get drugged because it makes you sleepy/lethargic and turn you into a zombie, your words! 🙂 you see you need to fight your Severe depression; suicidal thoughts, self loathing, concentration problems, hopelessness, unexplained pains, to become normal, no pills will cure that, so fight! fight! fight! and every now an then take something when you feel you really need too. you will grow out of those things by being strong and facing them. the sedative is for a little break every now and then.
Just to give another POV, I’ve been on pristiq though not zyprexa. For me, although it did not make my thoughts go away, it made it easier to cope with by taking way the suffocating darkness. I can’t promise that they will work for you, or say that it’s easy to take meds everyday (I stopped and relapsed badly), but if you’re willing I would give it a chance. It can make the darkness slightly less oppressing even if it does not take it away, and give you a fighting chance. I wish you the best of luck!
Tristeza,
good! exactualy, don’t give up and don’t give in, you are normal, you just need a shot of courage, every now and then, i’m facing these things myself, sit back and say to yourself 99% of this shit isn’t really real it’s in my head, attack! attack!attack! face your demonds! little by little they lose and you win!! be brave!!! and sit back and wipe your head saying whooo! i got pass it! little by little you will win! but yeah every now and then you will need a little help and shot, a pill, what ever. but you will make progess.
That’s what I’ve been trying to do — attack and fight… I’m trying, trying so hard I swear… I always compare myself to Atlas. I think I’ve been fighting for so long, carrying the weight of this world and pretending to be normal. I’m not normal anymore, unfortunately, but I’m happy if my happy mask fools people. I’m in tears right now. So lost. I wish I could give up and disappear
It’s okay. You’ll be fine. You took a first step to trying to get better again.
You don’t have to be or pretend to be normal, when there’s a problem it needs to be addressed and solved.
You have no reason to feel lost, you’re close to getting things back in order.
Please don’t cry.
Everything will be fine, you’re really strong.
Things will be fine.
It will all get figured out eventually and things will be back in order.
For now just try to get a little break, you’ve had a tough day.
Thats your best shot! and whats normal? who’s normal? ha ha nobody! everyone wears that happy mask that fools people, your not alone, you just think you are! the world is rough, remember all these people are fighting just like you, just like me! my email is recycling1000 @ yahoo.com. if you want to tell me your whole story i will listen. i will be your friend.
I was raised in a christian cult. My stepfather was an abusive monster, a disgusting pedophile who blindfolded my mom for years so he could take advantage of me… Hearing my story will only drag you down and I’m trying to avoid making new friends because of that, but I’ll email you tomorrow (I feel too emotionally drained to talk about my past tonight). Thank you for your kindness, rocketman.
Today was the beginning of a process that we all hope will get you to feeling and functioning better. It may still take some time to find the right combination of medicatios and other therapies that work best for you, but you’ve taken the first step. Hang in there, girl.
Glad to see you’re going to give it a shot. You might want to try just taking half of the prescribed dose for starters just to make sure it won’t “zombify you”. Meds works differently on different people, so i guess you’ll only know by taking a chance. For instance, Paroxetine does the trick for my mom and one of my sisters, but it does nothing for me (other than shut down all my feelings, which is worse imo). In any case, good luck with those, hopefully they’ll give you some relief.
Bb queen,
I truly believe you have the heart to overcome this. Some people dont need meds because they aren’t in the depth you are in. You know I hate meds more than anybody else but for you I feel they may be more than beneficial at least to tide you over until you can make a situational/scenery change which is your biggest source of despair and always has been. Babe its one arduous day at a time but your courage and bravery is inspiring and frankly I couldnt be more than PROUD of your fight. Theres no stronger fighter and Anderson Silva MMA champ has got nothing on you. You could easily kick his ass if you’re destroying depression as you are right now. Feelings lie, feelings tell stories that are illusions and your emotions are doing just that. What is real is the strength inside of you. I’m in love with not only your dazzling beauty but the charisma and diamond heart you have that NEVER gives in. Never says die! Sleep deep and well and wake up tomorrow ready to battle again.
Fuck the naysayers and the distractions; let’s get you through this tough time together. I call on any and all of Tristeza’s friends here and the SP community to encourage, uplift and talk truth to her in this amazing time of true community. You’re not lost as long as I’m with you and we walk this road together. People think they are lost when they are walking a road nobody else has and I believe this untraveled path is leading you to something only you could do, love. It’s ok if you dont believe, cause mine is strong enough. But I know deep down you still believe. (: *hug
*hug* thank you for always being on my side and for all the strength, hope and courage you give me. I’m glad I’m not alone and we walk this road together <3
Processing your request, Please wait....

Tristeza,
Don’t know? I don’t like taking anything on a on going basis, i like to take something now and then only when i really need it.
I know I need the meds… The problem is that I can’t stop pretending to live (work/study) because I’m drugged sigh
Sorry about that you see the side affects of on going meds are not so good, i take a sedative when i feel i need to. or drink vodka 🙂
Tristeza,
what are your symtoms, why do you need them?
What sedative do you take? Severe depression; suicidal thoughts, self loathing, concentration problems, hopelessness, unexplained pains, etc. The list goes on.

Thank you for the kind words, rocketman. I’m tired, but still fighting and trying my best.

I feel more lost now than yesterday. I’m trying so hard. I really want to believe things will be fine, I do… Thank you, Duzo

True…

PS. I was wondering about what had happened to you. Idk how you’re doing, but I hope that things are improving over there.
