Well I went to the shrink yesterday and he gave me a script for Zyprexa because I was soo wound up with stress and breaking into crazy crying jags and stuff. Does anyone on here have any experience with this drug? I know it is used for bi-polar and stuff and it makes me wicked tired but at least I am able to push my stresses back a little so I can think. I just want to know peoples experiences with it and stuff.

Hi Honey,
Glad you got to see the shrink. Maybe it won't make you so tired after your system gets used to it. I'm sure you'll get some good replies here. I know that there are others on it here since they've mentioned it. Do you think you could take a lesser patch dosage with it or are you on the lowest patch dose?

In the natural health column this morning.....
"Don't start any natural boosters on your own because of the danger of interactions.
Bearing that caution in mind, you might rad and learn about L-tyrosine, an energizing amino acid that helps you make dopamine, a happy brain chemical. It also boost thyroid hormone, which eases depression and fatigue. Learn about SAMe, a natural antidepressant and join-pain reliever that has been used overseas for decades with great success. Consider EPA/DHA fish oils as well as a good brand of 5-HTP. St. John's wort is very useful too, and numerous studies to prove it.

You might also try taking the pill at night instead of the a.m., or splitting the pills in half and taking it incrementally. ((((Hugs & kisses)))))
I have taken it before. Not by a doctor. my friend had a script. he was bipolar and manic i believe. My ex takes it now for schizophrenia. it has helped him more than anything else they have tried.
I know for me it made me sleep. Have you started taking them yet? Is it making you tired to where it will become a problem for you??
Good luck!!
