In reply to took zyprexa just a while ago.....im sane now, posted by your#1fan on December 25, 2007, at 20:24:33
Oh my. Sure brings back memories. About 2 years ago I had weaned off zyprexa a couple weeks earlier and thought I was doing fine, a little shakey, but ok. Then had to fly to Las Vegas to a company annual meeting. The first night there was in a small ballroom in a fancy hotel with hundreds of people crowded in all having the time of their lives, drinking, lots of loud music, lots of colored lights, and oh my I thought I was just going insane. I could not take it. I was absolutely petrified, manic, paranoid, whatever, just like you said...brain on fire. I went back to my room and took a 2.5mg dose of emergency zyperxa and wow an hour later I went back to the party and melted in just fine. A whole new comfortable world.
Zyprexa has got to be one of the most mysterious but most effective meds ever created. Too bad the weight gain turns so many people off. I do worry about longterm use of any antipsychotic, or any psych drug for that matter. But for short term immediate relief, all I can say is wow.
