Do be careful.

Bizi,

I am worried, esp with regard to driving.

Do you have some meds that will knock this down a few notches?

Is there anything else that you can do that has worked in the past?

If you can do very little driving for a couple days. It might be good.
I'm wondering if it can also be part of the drinking and stopping.

I finally slept well last night. Had not been.
Things seemed pretty normal for me. just paying attention, being as low key as I can.
Had a nice lunch with friends at a pizza place that I had never been to before.
I already take 160mg of geodon a day. so I can't take any more of that.
But I do have zyprexa to take if I need it and plenty of klonipin if I need it.
thanks for your words of support.
I feel normal today.

I am glad you had a good sleep Bizi. That always helps.

I don't remember...
Have you taken Zyprexa before, or would you be trying it for the first time?

[bizi]

hi waves, I have taken it before but it was a long time ago. meds are long expired.
I should probably just throw them in the trash.

oh yeah, dated 2006, and I only took 4 back then. they are 15mg and I don't remember how they effected me.

Bizi,

They might be ok but they might not. The potency can degrade, and this can even happen unevenly across pills. So then it's impossible to gauge strength based on the effect of one dose, because the next pill you take might have a lot more or a lot less 'drug' in it. Yours are probably in a pharmacy container, too, right? That's not good as far as preserving potency as they are not airtight.

Most of my drugs are blistered (keep better) and I'd toss those if they were 9 years expired. Sorry, but I have to advise you to toss them and talk to your pdoc if you start to feel like you need a back up plan/med.

I hope that just getting more sleep again will bring you back to even keel.

Thanks waves I will trash them...literally!
My right leg/thigh injury is weird. I walked on the tred mill and it did not hurt at all for 45 minutes at 3.5 mph.
but cross my leg and it hurts.
pulled out my anatomy book.
it is part of the quads. the vastus lateralis...I think.
So walking does not use that particular muscle????
It hurts when I get up and down from the floor but am favoring my left leg so it doesn't bother me that much. Same thing when I get out of my car I put all of my weight on my left leg.
