Latuda has a better chance of lifting your spirits than Zyprexa. Zyprexa is way better at treating anxxiety, however.

Just take a small amount of it, 2.5mg every day. Pick a manufacturer and stick to it. I truly believe that aurobindo would have worked, if I had not gone back to teva. Because it worked at first.
Zyprexa will probably get rid of the urge for heroin. When I go off zyprexa, I usually get the urge for crack. But it goes away when back on zyprexa. I've only used it a couple of times and have no desire to use it again.

The zyprexa will stabilize at work pretty quickly some effects come quicker than others, but I assure you that you will feel better right away.

thank you all. went on the 'sun' generic and took it for a week. became dumb as a stump. i then went off it and was feeling better for a while.
i have a much harder job now that i can't loose. i just started last september.i am now doing awful. i mean really bad :'(
i saw T yesterday, and i can't get into this new pdoc until end of next week. my T tried to call pdoc but didn't return her call....
i need help now.
i miss my old pdoc SO badly, he could have solved this issue over the f'n phone, probably in his sleep.my anxiety is crazy high, can't sleep at nights, can't eat during the day so my blood sugar is all over the place.
every day my thoughts get darker and take over more... i
i can't do this again guys.
I've got TOO much..
a really great job. i have two wonderful children...
i can't go back to the darkness. it will kill me i know.I'm still at work. i need to go home but i'm like frozen and can't move from my chair.
i don't want anyone to talk to me, i don't want anyone to touch me. i want to curl up in a ball.i don't know if i even feel sadness.
just emptiness. a hollow shell that wants to disappear.
I'm scared.****
i have perphenazine at home, i have haldol at home, would any of those help me right now?
until the fu*king pdoc responds i don't know what to do. the zyprexa wont work on this. last time it helped my anxiety but didn't do anything with the mood (which was weird for zyprexa).
i wish my f*cking insurance would cover the ReAL zyprexa for me....
i'd do that.GOD i need to CURL UP WITH this stupid website, cuz its the ONLY place i feel safe right now.
**************
i only mentioned heroin because i know that it would most likely kill me.
i've actually never done any type of illegal drug before.
but I'm to the point where i'm willing to try.
especially right now.
maybe i should smoke some weed?can anyone help me?
i don't want to be scared anymore.
i don't want to be here anymore.
i don't want to go back to that darkness.
i just can't do it.***************
i emailed my T and begged her to try to contact the pdoc again.
***********and btw, when i called my pdoc's office today (to see if i could get fitted in, or if there was a cancellation) the f*kg nurse was very condescending and was MORE concerned that i had xanax, and where did i Get it from cuz my pdoc didnt rx it! that's all she worried about, not that i'm having a fu&king breakdown and my systems going to hell in a hand basket!
************
i need to go home now.
i will try to just go home and go to sleep.
its almost 7:00, only one hour before kiddos go to sleep. i hitnnk i agcan do that.i'm feeling kinda loopy from all the gabapentin took.
i have such Stroibng urges to keep taking an taking and taking and taking and taking and taking and taking...............
i need to leave.
why can't i leave.i love you all.
i will be back tomorrow.
sweet dreams all.

I found that perphenizine in low doses helped me a lot when I was taking parnate and it wasn't quite working. I also had a scrip for haldol, which I took in a large dose if I was really in a bad way. In combination with ativan, it would knock me out, so I would sleep round the clock and usually feel better in the morning.
But with kids, konking out at 6:00 probably isn't an option. And then you need to work the next day.
I don't know what to tell you. Keep on keeping on. You have your children to live for and be present for. Sometimes depression passes with time. Not weeks or months, but a year or so. For me, it took about 5 years, then it lifted, or at least, I learned how to cope and function.
I wish you well.
