So then they gave me Zyprexa with no warning as to potential side effects. Heck, I wasn't even told not to drive on the stuff.

> It was beyond horrible. I had no clue what was happening but after maybe 3 or 4 days, right during a meeting at work, I tried talking and it was soooo difficult. Then even typing on the computer was difficult. The thoughts were inside my head by it was as if my brain could not make my body obey. Movement became weird. Beyond the twitches, I had a hard time walking and standing. I have a naturally occuring very low blood pressure so with the Zyprexa bending for 10 seconds meant being dizzy when I stood up. I was slowly sinking in a haze ... it felt like a giant vice was constricting my brain ... and I started getting periods of time that I could not remember ... which I later learned were absence seizures. Usually a couple every hour. It was very scary. It made me drop things, stop walking in the middle of the street ... and I became afraid to talk to people, handle my pets, cross the street because I never knew when they would happen next and what crazy accident could happen because of it.
...
Zyprexa..I cannot remeber much except I couldn't remain upright, even sitting was uncomfortable..my mind only filled with an obsession of food I was always hungry.

Its just my personality coupled with a very vivid imagination.
...
Same here.

> Boring street signs transform into ironic and cynical jokes, where you see I shadow, I see a cat, where you see a tree stump, I see a corpse, necklaces look like bugs and people walk around carrying giant tubas. But hey, I prefer my wonky brain than a drugged up one.
...
I thought everyone saw the stuff I saw, objects just morph into my imaginative mind..
As long as I don't believe aliens are out to get me or I become the new messiah I can live with it like I always have.
I became the stereotype artist..makes my strangeness more acceptable/allowable.
