I am going to try to post here about my drinking behavior and dieting efforts, this will be a blog type thread. Since no one seems to post here, I will.

Have to get going broke my commitment to only be on the computer 20 minutes at a time. I have been on here twice as long.
feeling like a brain fog since taking the zyprexa started on saturday 5 days ago. 3-11-17.
I will email my pdoc about this, notified my tdoc yesterday that I had been manic.

Bizi, I think that a blog is a good idea.

I will read along here and (only if you want me to) add my two cents worth if I think that I have something constructive to offer.

Thank you.
8 days of zyprexa and I am always hungry.
I see therapist on monday then pdoc on tuesday.
I have joined a womens group that meets on tuesdays evenings from 6-8, only 6 sessions. I like the group so far.I am doing a work book for borderline personalities.
I drink too much and get into trouble , like blacking out. and not remembering events.
sigh

I will take my zyprexa tonight when we get home from the beer gardens blue grass music.local bluegrass and beer! does it get better than this?

Bizi, the group sounds great to me. I went to one for people with mood disorders (clinical depression in my case) for a while and found it very helpful.

One thing which came up there is that a member with bipolar said that she noticed increased appetite after being prescribed Zyprexa. For her it went away after about a month of being on it.

Maybe something to bear in mind for you - you could talk with your pdoc after a month or so if your increased appetite does not go away?

zyprexa can cause diabetes.
I am willing to switch meds.
Thinking about asking her to change it to abilify and seroquel at night for sleep.

I will not be posting here.
I have an internet addiction.
I need to reel it in.

That is fine Bizi.

Anytime that you would like to reactivate this thread, I want you to know that I am always here to listen.
