Hello I'm new here, thought I'd share my limited experiences with meds. I was on Sodium Valproate at first, I was stable on it but felt like it impaired my cognitive function. I really struggled in conversations, I couldn't think of anything to say. I'm on 2.5mg Zyprexa now and don't feel too bad cognitively, I'm just very lazy, putting on weight, and really struggle getting out of bed in the mornings. I can stop taking them altogether for a few days and feel great, and then start taking them again and feel lethargic again. I take them to keep my wife happy, she thinks if I miss one pill I'll become instantly insane. I don't tell her when I stop.
