Well it was day 4 of being at 7.5 mgs of zyprexa from 10 mgs. And being on the Invega. Last night I couldn't sleep no matter what I tried. So I ended up taking another zyprexa. I'm really bummed out about it. I put a call into my psych nurse and I'm going to see if increasing the visteral by 100 is something I can try. I have to get my sleep. And I don't want to go on ambien or any of those kinds of meds. I'm in Washington and they're really strict about them and I just don't want to deal with it. Ugh! So bummed was really hoping I'd be able to get off the zyprexa....

Have you ever been on Seraquel ?

Yeah and I gained 40lbs on it. It also made me feel zombiefied. I was on 200. That doc wouldn't take me off it. I'm really trying to stay away from the weight gainer APs but thanks for the suggestion.

The amount of seroquel I'm on now is borderline embarrassing lol. It's not working for crap anymore. And since we increased it I've gained 4lbs in 2 wks. It's actually a good thing because I was very underweight but it's really messing up my head with my ED and all. But I heard Zyprexa is way worst. My friend gained a ton of weight on it. I would flip if I gained that much. Plus I've heard you get withdrawal when you get off it. Don't need more withdrawal symptoms on my plate right now. I would try seroquel if I were you though. The only reason it's not working for me is because my tolerance built up. So I do take breaks from it but it does take awhile before tolerance builds so that's why I do like it. I know once I get off of it for awhile then I can easily start again on only 50mg and no side effects! I've been on and off seroquel for over 10yrs now.
