Guest Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Zyprexa is my emergency med. I cannot stay on it long-term because of the weight issue. I've taken it with all sorts of different med combinations including the ones you're currently on. You may want to consider taking the zydis version if you plan on staying on it long-term. Not everyone has weight issues with Zyprexa. If you find that you do, you might want to ask about adding Metformin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon34 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Does the Zyprexa kick in immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 It kicks in almost immediately for me. Usually, I'll feel significantly better the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me, but the dose has to be high enough. How are you doing? I generally have to take more than 5 mg. It's wise to start there though. Hope you're feeling better!

anon34 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm feeling so so. Still a bit manic, I never know how I'm gonna feel and the sleep is still an issue for me even though im taking ambien. Ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneMarie Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My impression is that you are slowing down a bit, which I hope actually is the case. Hang in there. You will eventually return to a normal life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
