have had some weird stuff going on but doing mostly ok.
thanks for all the responses.
been on seroquel (back in the day) and had cognitive blunting. best sleep i've ever had but made me dumb as a box of hammers.
lexapro i've been on and i couldnt keep my eyes open past 8:00 and with two little kids that is not an option.on zyprexa works like a charm as always but i'm having to go back up to 10mg. and thats when i tend to gain weight.
currently on pristiq (and still not convinced its even doing anything yet.
zyprexa 5/10mg.
gabapentin 600mg bid and xanax prn.i think my pdoc said haldol is pretty similar to the zyprexa? do i remember that right, just a stronger drug?
and i put in the psychotic depression because i have auditory and visual illusions (not really halucinations) well, the auditory kinda are, but i'm aware that they are false and my pdoc says that is a sign of psychotic depression.
i think the anger is related mostly to my ptsd. and yes i dissociate pretty bad but i (after how many years of therapy) am pretty aware of what is depression and what is the dissociation. (finally).
anyway. if the pristiq isn't working i need to find another AD, i'm assuming the doxepin and trimipramine are those.
been on abilify and that coincided with the beginning anger so i stopped the abilify. but not sure now if the anger was from that or from ptsd? i just dont know. i seem to get so d@Mn erratic lately.
i know i've asked this before but was it metaformin that people use to help with weight gain of zyprexa?
i meet with pdoc this saturday and would like to have some ideas for him.
thanks all
b2c.
