dopamine release is good when doing stuff you like to do...and that's why maybe it takes the deregulation off.....but still its like covering a fire with a blanket, it may go out, or it may just make the blanket catch fire too....i don't know my examples are silly.
Like when I take zyprexa....i lose my research intrest, it just totally goes away and i feel like just laying around and watch tv or something with no real drive to make things happen.. not It's kinda like a psychatric version of weed. It makes you kinda calm and blunt, not much motivatiion...but it depends because I take 20mg...to keep manic thinking out.still if your doctor won't give you lithium, order it or go to the healthfood store and get orate stuff.
plus i agree...psych hospitals the people don't have pdocs or they where substance abuse and their doc discharged them... they have to go deal with the lifeless eyes of psych doctors. Givng them lifeless meds in the unit...like talking to pale faced acountant that has bad news...
tell your doctor you need to increase zyprexa, but seriously clozapine even thought it may scary is a good med for this. The reason im saying that is because some doctors tend not to use typical APs, it just depends. But its potency is strong.
get a joystick too....i love this game called half life, and half life 2 ...im waiting for half life3 to come out...:/
