It actually felt kind of trippy, but not in a 'crazy' sort of way. When I was younger, I used to imagine myself floating out in outer space, alone with the stars and being 'carried' by a warm wind. It was one of my escape methods when things were getting scary and violent at home. I haven't thought about that in many years now and had forgotten all about it. I was drifting off to sleep about 2 hours after that 10mg and I suddenly had the thought, "This feels like floating in outer space" and memories of those 'escapes' and the whole thing came flooding back to me. It was an extremely peaceful feeling, and then I was out like a light.

DAY 13
On 10mg I am doing better than I can even ever remember doing before. I am getting a solid 8-10 hours of sleep per night, don't even remember my dreams (which is super rare for me), and although it takes me a good hour to fully wake, I feel refreshed. My anxiety and agitation are almost completely gone, but I don't feel numb. I have been feeling productive, cleaning, showering everyday. My mind is clear. I must conclude that at the proper dosage of 10mg, this medication is perfect for me. I have no side effects so far, and at my last pdoc appointment yesterday I had lost 2 lbs since starting this med thanks to low-carbing. |

Im back on 15mg of Zyprexa a day after the Symbax quit working after 8 months.
It does make me stable but it also makes me numb. I feel like there is entire months of my life missed due to zyprexa. Hope you have a better experience than I did~!

I'm learning to perceive my emotions differently, which is helping a lot. They feel more like status update blips than like powerful forces. I can still feel sad, angry, anxious, etc, but rather than it being an overwhelming experience, they are more like blips alerting me to the fact that something about a situation is wrong, and that I need to address it. I still 'feel' them, but they are mild, just enough to alert me but not enough to throw me off. They are basically serving me, rather than controlling me, which for me is a wonderful thing.
