Well it's been awhile since I posted anything, I know, I'm lagging behind. But life stays pretty busy taking classes and taking care of kids! It's hard to find the time, sometimes.
Anyhoo, I've been on my latest med, Zyprexa, for a little over a month now. And I have to say, it's working out quite well for me. Maybe the 6th time's the charm. I haven't had any major side effects. It does make me a little sleepy after a few hours but I don't mind it (at least, at night time.) Also I have gained a little bit of weight, probably 5-10 lbs, which I don't really mind either. I was slim to begin with so it's not like 10 lbs will hurt me. Now if it continues to like 20+ lbs...then I think I will have a problem with it.
I've been charting my moods and they haven't dipped down below normal since I started on this med. I have been happy a lot more than I have been the past few months though and I'd say I feel closer to my "normal" self than I have in a long, long time...maybe even since around the time of my hospitalization?
I'm just thankful right now, and hoping that it all continues to pan out.
