I'm convinced now that zyprexa loses potency after 2 months. It hapens every time I fill a new script. Generic or brand same thing. I started a fresh bottle Nov 15, it was strong as the 15mg zyprexa from may. I'm at the very end of that bottle now and its not working very well at all. I took some of a fresh bottle I just filled for a week and felt great no problems. So I went back to takin the rest of the older bottle and it didn't work. I can tell when the zyprexa is working because if it isn't I start drinking more and have thoughts of smoking pot. This happens with out even thinking about it. At the time I just don't feel right.
Also its different with the perphenazine. Some times its working better than others. I can tell because if its working realy good I fall to sleep about 5 hours after taking it. Its not like the zyprexa, I mean it does not go bad. It stays good no matter how old. I'm not sure its because the zyprexa is not having an added effect at the time. Or I'm drinking more at the time or more tired at the time or what.
Am I just going through some sort of cycles. Where my body is just naturaly having highs and lows or what is going on. I know the meds are keeping me from going psychotic or delusional or anything schitzo. So is this the bipolar side of schitzoaffective? I have extra zyprexa to take prn, which I've been taking twice a week. Don't realy need it with the new zyprexa but need it more with old zyprexa. I can't realy get month supply from local pharmacy, because they don't stock as often so its not going to be as fresh. So I get 3 month supply from major mail order pharmacy, plus its cheeper.
Anyways it would be interesting if anyone has any insights on this.
