Hi
A few weeks ago I switched from Zyprexa to Resperidone and I am a nervous wreck. I feel like my house is closing in on me and I can't breathe! If I have any congestion at all I panic. Last night I had to take a valium to settle down enough to get into bed. I also went off of Lithium due to shaking a few weeks back. I don't know which is causing it but I'm miserable!! I see my doctor in a week. Until then I am just holding on. Pam |

What about calling the Drs office and leaving a message about how you are feeling?
Or do they have email access at the drs office? I don't think the Dr would want you feeling that way for a week.

Since the pdoc is not available, you have to make do for a while. I suggest calling a pharmacist. Ask the pharmacist what happens if you stop taking the Resperidone and if a person needs to taper. M. |

Pam can you call to get in faster?
You sound miserable...I hate to hear this. Have you ever tried geodon? I take this at night and don't have any side effects. I also take klonipin to sleep at night and lamictal as my mood stabilizer. what other meds are you taking? bizi

Hi
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the input. I defintely liked zyprexa better than risperidone but it costs so much! I went down from 2mg to 1 mg and it helped me some. I also take trazadone. I was taking lithium along with the zyprexa but it gave me the shakes. I've wondered if I might be having withdrawal from it. Pam |

Hi
I see my doctor on Wednesday thank you God! There are things going on in my life that could cause anxiety for sure but I still think most of it is the medication changes. I get a bipolar newsletter from Julie Fast a fellow sufferer. She talks about anxiety being a part of having bipolar. She also mentions that longer days cause mania so I onder if that has anything to do ith my mess. My doc is a pain doc as well as a head doc. I'm not too impressed but I plan to hang in with him for a while and give him a chance. I sure hope the end is in sight for my nervousness. It's really been tough! Pam |
