Flash Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm having déjà vu here, or so it would seem. I CANNOT do a repeat of last year. I'd rather die. I've been feeling a mixed state coming on. At first I thought it was akathisia from the abilify, because I stopped taking cogentin for a few days. But I took it again and no dice. I have THAT feeling, And I do not like THAT feeling. Not one bit. Have I done this to myself by trying repeatedly (and failed) to stop drinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sorry you're feeling that way, flash. I don't have experience with alcohol but my guess is yes, unfortunately. Can you take your PRN zyprexa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 I had kinda forgotten about that. Oops. I hope it works. I've mostly only used it for mania, but it's gotten rid of mild mixed junk before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonuser Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Flash, hope you don't get into a mixed episode-- that sucks. I would imagine that the drinking could influence your mood cycle. Maybe you should talk to a doctor about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Took zyprexa and am feeling better. Still a bit wired and can feel THAT feeling bubbling under the surface, but it's much subdued. Not sure if the drinking caused it, but last year I was stopping and starting at this time and I had a terrible mixed episode. I'm thankful for my meds today.
