I've been so busy socializing that I forgot to post about my decision to start my meds again.
After the bad episode I had with the last batch, I quit my job and have been doing okay, but decided that I would follow doctors orders and start them again. Because I lapsed, I had to start the whole process over again, which took a few months, but I am back in business.
Instead of trying a new med, I decided to go back to my initial meds, Zyprexa. I didn't have a major problem with them, but the side effects were kicking my ass. It was prescribed to me because I didn't have an appetite and I couldn't sleep. Well, I got what I asked for because within 2 months I gained 20 pounds and was sleeping at least 12 hours a day and still waking up groggy. This time around, I figured that sleep and a huge appetite was the least of my worries.
Now I know to watch my sugar intake and to eat protein in the morning to fight the grogginess.
That's all.
