Seems like the zyprexa is actually doing something now! Working! Was at 10mg for the last year and a half, and it didn't seem to work very well. Thought it must be fake or low dose. But 3 weeks ago doc up'ed it to 15 mg. At first it was a little rough. But now I function better, thinking is clearer, sleep better and most importantly, I don't have those bad moods anymore.
Maybe I should drop the perphenazine?? Not sure what its doing. But before (almost 2 years ago now) I was on 12mg x 3 perphenazine and 15 mg zyprexa. And seemed well then. But then doc wanted to do a total washout, which I did not agree with. So instead she only reduced meds one by one. But I didn't do any good. Well now I'm back up on zyprexa at least, and feel much better. Good thing I didn't get a Total wash out, or I would have totally gone nuts!! And probably lost my job for sure. I was not doing very well at work for most of the time. And scared my co workers and customers. Produced bad relationships at work. which I'm still trying to resolve. But much better the last 2 weeks.
Wondering now if I should go up on Z to 20mg like she was going for at first or just stay at 15. Then what about P? Do I give up on it?? Or go back to what I was doing before, 15 Z and 12x3 P. I'm only taking 12mg x2 right now. Not sure what is the answer.
The good thing right now is that I have not gained any weight from the Z increase! In fact I've lost another 5 lbs.
Anyways the good thing is The generic Z works! Just needed the right dose.

Zyprexa doesn't work, seroquel worked and let me down after 2 months, good luck i have taken 30 mg of zyprexa, and maybe now i have a brain tumor for taking any medication they liars and decepticons prescribed to me.
