Thanks Collette,
I am so glad you have a pdoc who is on top of your side effect situation. Most people go off great meds due to bad effects. It great your pdoc was able to address the water retention. I bet you will lose your 10 pounds in a day!I have had alot of hunger with Zyprexa. But no real cravings. I have not gained weight, but I do always feel hungry, which annoys me so much.
One thing I notice on Z is that I am annoyed alot. I feel like I have less patience. I wonder if this is from the Z or is it pms or being hungry and being afraid to eat because of this infamous weight gain?I would really like to increase from 2.5 to 5 mgs. I think I might sleep more soundly, and be less grumpy. I have the ok from my pdoc, but I am aware of some teeth clenching that worries me. I wonder if this is an extra pyramidal symptom which could lead to TD???
Does anyone else feel "annoyed" or less patient on Zyprexa? I also am rather bummed the sedation has worn off. I had two nights of phenomenal sleep where I didn't wake up once in the night. That is a miracle for me! But now I am back to my old ways of waking every few hours :(.
Sorry for the rant! Any info appreciated.
