After 8 years of pure hell (resisting suicide every day) I have finally found the med that lets me sleep and quells my anxiety. Zyprexa is a miracle drug, but I don't know how safe it is. I noticed my tongue twitching a few weeks ago, so I stopped the Z and the twitching stopped after a few days. Now, after another dive into the black hole, I'm back on Z at a lower dose and my tongue is not twitching yet. Don't know what is going on here. Clonazepam worked for me, but after a few months, it pooped out and left me with another big decision: increase the dose or step off. I chose the latter. God, I hate having my life revolve around meds! I used to be a competitive 10k runner, and now I spend most of my time obsessing about meds. I'm seeing my p-doc on Wednesday but don't know what to say...but I do know my nervous system is buggered and that I will probably have to pop pills for the rest of my life. Where do I go from here?
