Hello!
Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm *finally* level. I'm feeling good but not worrisome good, I have energy but not manic energy, I'm not over sleeping or under sleeping, I'm feeling social but also enjoy time alone. I feel balanced.
I haven't felt this good in years. My mom, who never talks about my BP, mentioned that I seem to be doing better 'on this new drug'. The new drug is Zeldox and its been a real game changer for me! I was skeptical at first 'cause I had a bad reaction to Abilify (made me hyper manic) so was feeling a bit frustrated. The thought of trying another drug was only slightly more appealing than having teeth pulled... but I'm so glad I did it. I'm on the average dose of Zeldox and am almost off Zyprexa. Had trouble sleeping at first but then I realized that just 'cause I wasn't tired enough to sleep 12 to 15 hours doesn't mean that that means I'm not getting enough sleep. I'm sleeping between 7 and 9 hours a night and am feeling great.
I thought the last six years on Zyprexa were good and balanced years but I can see now how foggy and muddled I was. There's still a level of medicated fog on Zeldox but its a lot better than it has been.
The hope is that once I'm off Zyprexa completely (in three weeks!!) I'll be able to start loosing the weight I've gained courtesy of it. I'm not looking forward to the work involved but I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to lose the weight.
Thanks to all of you who supported me through my very high highs and very low lows!!
Blessed,
