took 40 mg of fluoxetine instead of 20 mg by accident today

From reading online i realized it's no big deal.
But fluoxetine is giving me a little bit emotional numbness and anhedonia, and since i took 40 mg today, i feel more emotionally numb and anhedonic than before (could be placebo effect though)

So i wanted to ask if this one time increase in dosage could make me feel number for the long term even after i get back to taking 20 mg everyday
My doc dosen't work today after a certain hour so i couldn't ask her, and i'm really nervous about it. I felt numb when i was on a high dose of risperdal and i hated it.
On a sidenote: i'm currently starting to take zyprexa instead of risperdal, and i want to know people experience on it, side effects wise (i especially care about the side effects - low sex drive, emotional numbness and memory problems)

Thanks

Hi Amir, When you go back to your normal dose the numbness will go away.

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about Risperdal.

Thanks! I really hope so.
and i asked about zyprexa, not risperdal, sorry if i'm not being clear enough. english is not my first language.

No, that was my mistake. I'm sorry. I don't know anything about Zyprexa, though. I'm sure someone here is on Zyprexa....

Anyone on Zyprexa??

I am on a high dose of zyprexa. It has been a wonder drug for me it totally kills the mania and helps my depression. Zyprexa can cause rapid weight gain, high chlorestorol, and high blood sugar. I am diabetic and have been unable to control my blood sugar on zyprexa therefor I am having to go off of it.

Fluoxetine has the longest half life of all SSRIs, and it takes longer to metabolize as well. So your extra dose of 20mg will take effect throughout the next 2 to 4 weeks (spread), and would not cause noticeable trouble. Some degree of nausea can be expected. Avoiding Coffee and any other stimulant is better for the next two weeks.

There are over the counter medicine such as Avomine may help if nausea is a problem. But with other medications, it is best to consult your prescribing doctor.

I have been on Risperdal, but not Zyprexa. Both are mild anti-psychotics. Zyprexa is more potent and effective. It is the next in line after Risperdal. The emotional numbing effect is something that comes with any anti-psychotic. I would rather put it as "emotions becoming blurred", and the feeling of "meh" towards everything. At least I wouldn't get startled, and there was no room for any intrusive thoughts.

According to my sister, the sedation and most side effects comes only on the first few weeks on an anti-psychotic. Weight gain, low-libido and increase in prolactin are prolonged side-effects.

Thanks, np

I really hope it dosen't cause me rapid weight gain, even though i know it probably will. i'm a little overweight already and i'm currently losing weight, so i would get really depressed if i gain weight.
I hope that it will help me with my psychosis (which i'm not sure i have, and my doc isn't sure either)
Damn that's sucks, i hope you'll find another drug that will help you the same but without the blood sugar side effect

Thanks, i don't drink coffee anyway so that's good.
I just called my doc and she'll get back to me in a few minutes, i'll see what she says

Thanks, i'm not sure, i was on a high dose of risperdal for about a year and i felt numb all the time, for me it was actually a prolonged side effect, and i still have it to some extant even after i'm done with the pill, i hope that it won't be the same on zyprexa.

Yes the low-libido was a prolonged side effect, it's only getting better now when i stopped taking the pill, **** i hope i won't have it again with the zyprexa, the numbness and the low sex drive was terrible.

I appreciate everyone's help

Damn i read about the zyprexa weight gain and i'm worried. I started taking it a few days ago and i already feel a bit of increase in appetite but i can control it.
however, i'm trying to lose weight at the moment, and i read that it can't be done even if i'm not eating much because it changes the metabolizm, hormones etc, so the best that could happen to me is gaining a little bit of weight or stay the same, EVEN IF I EAT GOOD AND EXERCISE. and also, i'm on a very low dose (2.5 mg), and for most people it's only getting worse as the dose increases.
I don't know what to do, is there anyone here who was able to lose weight while taking it?

I have taken Zyprexa before (can't remember the dose - too long ago) and it made me sleep for 12 to 14 hours per day. I can't say anything about the weight gain because I wasn't on it long enough to notice, but one of my cousins who has bipolar takes Zyprexa - a small dose - and has responded well to it. Any side effects that you experience can be discussed with your doctor. Good luck!

I was taking zyprexa 20 Mgs for a couple years. I gained 30 lbs and switched over to Latuda.
I didn't have any other side effects.
I wish you well.

I should add that the majority of my weight came when I increased from 10 to 20 Mgs. A smaller dose might not be as bad.

Thank you. that helps

Thanks, that's good to hear because i don't think my doc will put me on more than 10 mg

Right now i'm especially worried about the numbness tbh, because i feel completely numb at the moment, can't enjoy or feel anything, i think it's from the extra dose i took of fluoxetine, at least i hope so, if it's from the zyprexa then i'm ****ed, because it won't go away anytime soon (probably, from my experience with the other antipsychotic i took).

I doubt it's from the zyprexa because i only take 2.5 mg and only for a few days, i'm not supposed to feel this numb already

Zyprexa can make you feel pretty numb. Your on a small dose so I doubt it's doing that to you but everybody is different. It might be something you want to talk to your doctor about.

If no one is sure you're having psychosis, why are you taking such heavy duty anti-psychotics...or taking them at all? I gained about 70 pounds on zyprexa. It's notorious for that. Risperdal can give you "man boobs." There are APs out there that don't have such severe side-effects.

My doc is pretty sure, she thinks i have disorganized thinking and i did have delusional thoughts in the past, but she just not sure if it's disorganized thinking or if it's just my cognitive problems, and i did a CT and it came out ok, so now she's alot more confident that it is disorganized thinking.

The thing is, It's really hard for me to remember things she asks me about when i'm at an appointment, even if those are things i focus on alot of the time, my recall is horrible, and i only remember things when there is a trigger to them, so maybe it just comes off as disorganized thinking and it's actually not (?)
which leads me to a thing i wanted to ask, are terrible recall, EXTREME short and long term memory loss, Slow thinking and tons of other problems i have with memory and thinking that i can't recall right now, are a part of the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, or it could possibly be something else? (maybe dissociative amnesia? i asked my doc about it but she won't listen) (or maybe it could be because of the APS i took? it didn't get any better when i was off risperdal though, but maybe it takes alot of time)
she thinks that it's all my disorganaized thinking and that zyprexa is the best AP for me right now.

And i do feel sort of disconnected from reality, it's hard to explain but i just feel like i experience the world differently from normal people, but it could be duo to alot of other factors (taking APs, having a terribly functioning brain, being alone alot and other stuff i can't remember right now)

I also can't recall any of my past, whether it's my childhood or what was my day like yesterday

Thanks man, i will ask her about it, but everytime i bring up the numbness she keeps saying that it's due to my schizophrenia, so it's pretty pointless
