I have found that if I take Zyprexa 2.5-5mg on say, Sunday night, I will have a very bad day on Monday, very tired, blah, etc. But then for the next 3-4 days I feel decent. Less anxiety, less depression. By the end of the week, though, I slip back into feeling *very* bad. I can't take Zyprexa every day - it wakes up my bulimia.
So- my question is: By taking Zyprexa like this, am I setting myself up to feel worse when it wears off than if I hadn't taken it at all?
I discovered this by accident when I took 5mg of Zyprexa one night when I hadn't slept more than a few hours per night for a couple of weeks and was desperate to get some sleep. I figured it would help with my early awakening.
I guess I'm afraid that by taking it off and on I am just joggling things up in my brain and it will never settle down and "normalize." I am too depressed right now to think coherently about this issue.
