I was released from the mental health floor of a local hospital close to 2 weeks ago, I had spent only 4 days there but 4 was more than enough for me I was taken off of my Paxil, and all other meds, and put down to only Zyprexa as well as Visteral. They tried me on Saphris, which helped quite a bit but my insurance laughed in their face about paying for it, and would have left me with a $500 a month bill.

My psychiatrist has me on the Zyprexa 2.5mg, but I don't feel any better. If anything, my moods have shifted much more than normal, they just arn't nearly as severe. I committed myself because of how close I was to suicide, and it scared me.

I need help... and I honestly don't know where to get it anymore. The meds don't seem to be helping, and I feel like I'm losing my grip once again. I want to feel better, but I'm not.

i am sorry you are still feeling so poorly. obviously the meds are not helping. i know it is frustrating to be on the med merry go round but you really have to be proactive to find the right ones. it took me a couple years of being an absolute pain in the neck to my docs but if i wasnt feeling better right away i refused to continue to suffer and immediately demanded a change in meds. my docs hated me but i wasnt going to waste my time on something that wasnt working or something that had crappy side effects. i went thru nearly every med there was but eventually found the best meds for me without side effects that bothered me and i have been pretty much stable for years now. i hope you can find something that works for you.

That may be too low a dose of Zyprexa, especially if you can not afford Saphris. Did they add a mode stabilizer?

I was thinking the same thing as Valentina. I hope things look up for you soon and that you get to feeling better. I am so sorry that you are miserable!
