It is a good sign that you can see the mania. Are you able to control you behaviour to stay safe and not do things you normally wouldn't you. I see you are limiting time online, that will help. I hope things keep calming down. Take care

I have brain fog. either from the mania or the zyprexa. I stopped taking the geodon when I started taking the zyprexa. I will email my pdoc this morning.
sigh
thanks for your support, sorry I can't contribute to other peoples threads, for now I just have to focus on me.

Zyprexa gives me brain fog too. It tends to clear up by the afternoon but it makes it really hard to function when I have things to do n the morning. If you are taking it regularly the fog side-effect tends to pass in a week or so. HUGS!

this is the email that I sent to my pdoc:
Quote:
Dr. Orazio,
I have been manic since saturday this weekend.
Just having come back from a very stressful week with my family, in florida. I was there alone with them with out jeff and really was stressful for me., and I hardly slept at all.

Saturday night I was almost psychotic. So I took one of the zyprexas that you gave me for emergency use. I have been taking it for 5 days. I stopped taking the geodon because I was not sure about taking them both together.
I see my therapist Robin on monday.
I am much better now, but still have brain fog.
I don't know why I am so resistant to tell you/report to you....
My drinking had escalated and I am sure that contributed to the mania.
bizi
the nurse called back she wants me to continue with the geodon and I made an appointment to see her on tuesday.

Even though she said that I should take the geodon, afraid to take geodon and zyprexa together, will try to research it.
I went from 160mg a day to zero geodon, day 5, debating to take it tonight.
This will be the 6th dose of zyprexa, 15mg.
My mind is in a fog, my typing is terrible and I should get ready for bed.
I think I will skip my klonipin and see if I can sleep just on the zyprexa.

I just spoke with the pharmacist who said that it was contraindicated to take both together. Thanks mari for encouraging me to check with her.
She said she would call the doctors office and leave them a message.

I saw my therapist yesterday then my pdoc today and a workshop this evening.
My pdoc was kind and caring. She did not think that I was manic. She thought it was the alcohol, even so she was glad that I took the zyprexa.
I am to taper off of it and restart the geodon. My prescription for 5mg of zyprexa is not in yet they have to call in them to the pharmacy.
So I will just stop taking the zyprexa.
my pdoc doesn't want me on these forums.
So to try to reel in my internet addiction,
I will say good bye.
You really helped me when I needed it.
thank you for the support.

Maybe your pdoc feels the forums stress you?

Thank you so much for your kind words.
I have an addictive personality.
food, alcohol and internet.
I don't seem to be able to moderate...not in my genes.
I was spending hours every night on line...going from one forum to the next, from email to facebook etc. back and forth on and on it would go.
so I hide the book marks and am only going to facebook, email, neurotalks bipolar forum which I have been a member for decades but is not very active.
thank you for your support again,
bizi
