I was diagnosed with depression and psychotic symptoms a little while ago by my new pdoc. My old pdoc put me on 3 anti psychotics because he thought I was bipolar. I'm not bipolar. I take 4 mg of risperdal, 32 mg of perphenazine, and 80 mg of Latuda. I take a mood stabilizer for depression. I take 1200 mg of trileptal. Anyway, my pdoc increased my risperdal from 3 mg to 4 mg on Friday. I wonder how long it will take to kick in. I've been getting paranoid on and off randomly for the last couple months. I'm going to this partial hospitalization program for a month in a week or so. Hopefully I can find a medicine to make the paranoia go away completely. I'm all ready on 3 anti psychotics which sucks because with all those I still get paranoid. Yesterday at work, I thought people were looking at me, I got really anxious, and then thought this guy was following me after I got off work. Then I had suicidal thoughts that kept lingering and going through my mind. I told my mom that I was going to hurt myself but it was a way to get help yesterday. The paranoia started to happen the last 45 minutes of work. I'm getting sick of getting paranoid. I don't know how to cope with it. Whenever it happens I get depressed and feel bad about myself. I just feel stressed out and feel pretty ****** after it happens. A little while ago at work today I had symptoms of paranoia. It didn't turn into an episode. Have any of you guys experienced paranoia and had it go away or at least get really mild and rare? I'm sick of it. It's crippling to me. It makes me so frustrated and sad.

Zyprexa has been helping me a lot with paranoia problems. I still have the occasional paranoid thought, but it's fleeting and doesn't make me upset. They just come and go quickly without any emotion behind them. I've also been getting along with my mother a lot better, which I think is the strongest sign that my medication is soothing my paranoia, anger and anxiety issues.
I definitely encourage you to tell your pdoc that you're still having paranoia problems and to ask to keep trying medications until you find the right one(s) for you. |

I read that Zyprexa makes you really hungry and makes you gain weight. Ive also heard that you wake up in the morning sweating really bad in your bed. Do you guys experience these side effects?

The only side effect I get from Zyprexa is the weight gain.

Latuda makes me sleepy, but it delays my suicidal thoughts at times. I'd break a piece of a Latuda pill and take it to counter drowsiness and sleepiness.

I get weight gain and I suspect it's why I have high cholesterol right now. I have to decide if I'm gonna stay on it...
