Only one dose of Zyprexa, HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

Posted by Mary GG on June 14, 2016, at 14:21:03

I started Zyprexa last night for treatment resistant depression. I took only one dose, 2.5 mg and I am TERRIFIED. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS? I am aware this has to build up in your system and I am aware this is an incredibly low dose but my body is telling my otherwise.
I woke up so dizzy could barely make it to the bathroom. I have that feeling of brain shocks that we often experience when withdrawing from certain meds. I have been uncontrollably sobbing for over 7 hours now. Every time I turn my head I can feel the fuzziness in my brain. This feels like horrible withdrawal but I am not withdrawing from anything.

My history with meds is that I am UNBELIEVABLY sensitive to everything. Everything. I experience side effects on levels that most people never dream of. My doctor very carefully weens me on and off medication because I am so sensitive but she refuses to believe this is from one dose of Zyprexa.

I have been under the care of psychiatrists for 20 years. Side effects are just part of what we deal with But I have never taken an atypical antipsychotic before. After sobbing and shaking for hours I took two Xanax to regulate my breathing and it calmed down a bit. The nightmares that I had were like nothing I have ever experienced. I use Xanax for anxiety and have never had nightmares let alone the horror I just experienced.

I am so scared and upset. I had a friend come over for 4 hours this morning because I could barely walk to the bathroom the shocks in my brain were so bad.

I am constantly told by doctors they've never heard of a patient having the intense responses I do to medication but that doesn't help me. It makes me like even more of a freak of nature and I need support.

I hope my post make sense because I am out if I can barely think straight. I suppose my main question is has anyone had immediate side effects from Zyprexa? How long will this last? I cannot drive to appointment tomorrow if I'm still like this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am so scared and alone.
