Could I be hypomanic on low dose zyprexa?
I was taking everything in my signature line before the zyprexa. I had been drinking alot often sneaking etc....and could not control my drinking.
My weight was 186, female.
So I had heard that bipolarRN was on zyprexa also and was losing weight.
So I asked my pdoc to add 5mg of zyprexa to my meds. She agreed to 2.5mg.
My thinking was if I could get more stable than I would be able to control my drinking and lose weight.
She was leary of this because she gives young girls 2.5mg of zyprexa who are anorexic to GAIN weight.
Almost instantly I have control of my drinking...only drank one time in 58 days. and have lost 15 pounds in 9 weeks.
So I feel so much more in control.
I am house hunting....feels pressured though.
hubby doesn't want to move.
We live in a 50 year old house and can't afford to fix it up.
So I want a 10 year old house that we can grow old together.
I got so angry with him that I threatened to do this on my own. That is what it took inorder for him to get it. I do want to stay married to him...for awhile though I did not want to.
This is the impulsive/manipulative side of me.
Anyway, we are looking at 3 houses in the neighborhood that I would like to live by my friend, tomorrow, and 2 more after that with a realtor..
