Hi all, My current meds are 10mg lexapro, 5mg zyprexa and zimovane 7.5mg x2 amounst other meds which are not relevant to this forum.
I've been tapering down from 40mg of lexapro 20mgs x 2 daily for the last month of which I've been on for the last 5 years and in my oppinion have stopped working as my anxiety was uncontrollable on them.
My Psych didn't want to listen so my doc took over and put me on zyprexa 2.5mgs daily during the taper off lexapro for the first 2 weeks which gave me a couple of hours relieve each day after i took them, he then doubled to 5mgs two weeks later which are doing the same and some days I need to take an extra one in the evenings when it gets bad.
Is this the way zyprexa works or is this psychological on my part. I really do find 10mgs is my dose but I find it hard to tell the doc that I'm self medicated again because I'm starting to feel that they think I'm taking the P**s just to get more drugs..
I really am starting to get paranoid now and this is making me want to buy the drugs black market when I know this too is wrong..
Can anybody please shed some light on this as I feel I'm going crazy over it and my appointment is tuesday with the doc and I want to try to be as honest as possible with him.
Kindest regards,
