I am delighted to hear that Zyprexa is working so well for you. I don't take Risperdal regularly, but it does have a beneficial effect on me during meltdowns.
It does give one hope, doesn't it?

I was just going to send you an e-mail,
but I stopped in here first.
Oh Dinah. It reminds me of that movie "cocoon"
when people awakened from their coma's, except this was a nightmare. And so many times I thought I was 'better' I wasn't. Seeing how relatively easy things are now that I'm feeling this way, I'm actually quite surprised I accomplished anything at all before. I also realize why some people would put up with weight gain. Before I never thought it was worth it, but thats because I wasn't really that much improved.
The best thing is with the Zyprexa I don't feel blunted at all. Its just that when I think about past losses, I get melancholy instead of gut wrenching grief, and I get sweaty palms instead of feeling terror.Now. If there were only a way to actually convey
that to people who are depressed, on this board especially. I mean really get it through. You aren't a loser, or lazy or
meant for failure, you are bearing a burden which is unfathomable to most. And there is hope. And then when you are better, and its obvious to everyone around you that it really was a disease
you can go NYAH!!! (okay maybe that only appeals to me)I know I didn't believe anyone when they told me that. Thanks for going into hell with me Dinah, and not letting me forget that "spirits are resilient things"
I think you are an (Oh I'll save that for a letter
I know you get embarassed)Hope hope hope.

I practically cried when I read your post, and you know I don't cry easily. I love it when someone finds their way out of this labrynth. And you're right. I wish there was a way to convey to others that it is possible, that things can look so much different with just the right med or meds. I'm so glad you found the one that's right for you.
And you nyah, nyah all you wish. You deserve it. :)

so happy for you, I am! that anxiety/fear mix is the worst. You must feel like a freshly hatched spring chick.

Thanks Tabitha!
I was worried that you were angry with me.
Yeah, its amazing. It doesn't even have that tentative okay feeling, where if I dare breathe I think it'll go away. Its just me.
I just hope it lasts, and not gaining 50 lbs would be nice too.xo
