Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.

Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

Good beginning of the week to you!What are you up to todayI just have laundry in and have been visiting with my roomie and his good friendAll the critters have been fed and the day's looking goodI hope that you have a good day...Sending hugs...xo
But I was wondering, could those possibly be withdrawal symptoms as you titrated down? Maybe not....
I'm on zyprexa too, and I understand how you feel.
Recently I was allowed to titrate down to 5mg, and my pdoc and I are both watching to see how I will do.
Staying on a med that's working isn't a setback
Please try not to look at it like that
I've been on pretty much the same meds for over 30 years with a couple of tweaks
The tweaks didn't work well so I've ended up back on the origional meds
There's been times I've wished things could be different like we all do but the Zyprexa works well for you so it isn't a bad thing
I understand wishing things were different
I hope that you feel better really soon sweetie
Big hug and a blessing sent...xo
