So, what kind of dosage are we talking about here? It’s 2:30 in the morning, and I’m sitting here staring at the ceiling, stuck on 2.5 in the AM and another 2.5 at night.
Matthew Lee65 said:Alcohol isn't even my main issue, though I'll admit a cold beer hits the spot once in a while. But when I'm overdoing it on pills to deal with the drinking, and pairing that with ADHD meds... that's a different story. Honestly, the hardest part is giving up Coke because of the caffeine; apparently, it just amplifies the depressive effects when you mix it with stimulants. It’s a mess. The other day, I accidentally ate a piece of cappuccino-flavored chocolate and immediately spiraled, convinced I was going to feel terrible. Luckily, it wasn't 😁

Excuse me? That's the first time I've ever heard that...
Do you think I can pull this off on my own? I honestly don't know. Every single morning I head into work feeling this heavy sense of dread, and it’s driving me up the wall—I’ve just developed this deep-seated anxiety around people. The second I wake up in the morning, I already feel this wave of nausea at the mere thought of facing another day. Still, I appreciate the encouragement, velvetsailor26 🙂
I’ve been on Cipralex for nine days now. Is it actually normal to feel more anxious than I did before I even started taking it? Does this phase eventually pass?
It’s not that I’m afraid of everyone, just certain people, but my confidence has basically bottomed out because I spend all my time watching others tackle the very things that terrify me without even breaking a sweat. I can't focus on anything else anymore; it’s the only thing playing on loop in my head, and nothing else seems to matter. I can't find any sense of joy or satisfaction in anything I do.
I spend my entire day interacting with people, even though I struggle with pretty intense social anxiety; I actually love what I do, but the thought of showing up for my shift makes me want to crawl into a hole and hide.
Larry Lewis said:Look, 20mg? That's a heavy-duty dose—it's practically meant for someone dealing with full-blown schizophrenia, much like my own situation.🙂Have you noticed any weight gain from it yet? Because, goodness, I’ve packed on 26 pounds since I started taking Zyprexa... it’s been an absolute disaster.
I haven't... Sometimes I almost wish I actually had schizophrenia, if it meant I could finally stop living in this constant state of fear—that deep-seated dread of just losing my mind entirely. So, where do you work?
Larry Lewis said:I’m currently sitting at 20mg and, frankly, it isn't even working the way it should—it's just... fine, I guess? The only real perk of this medication is that you don't have to worry about when the sleep will actually hit; you just swallow it and drift off into a dream world that, quite frankly, has become more exhausting than actual reality—I'm constantly stuck in these bizarre, nonsensical fever dreams.
I think I’ll have to tell my doctor that I need to get back on antidepressants—either I'm completely losing my temper over nothing or I'm drowning in sadness, and the only time I feel remotely human again is late at night.
I’m pretty sure if you jump straight to 20 mg, you’ll be out for the count, because even a tiny 2.5 mg dose used to absolutely floor me back in the day—though I guess my tolerance has finally caught up with me.
amberdriver85 said:It’s funny how everyone reacts differently—some people feel the shift after a week, whereas for me, it felt like I was waiting almost three months for anything to actually kick in. I really don't want to rain on your parade, but just stay the course and don't give up on it yet.
So, what's your reason for taking it? For me, it's social anxiety.
I've been on Cipralex for about five days now, and the side effect I'm dealing with is a complete and total loss of appetite. I'm just sitting here hoping this phase passes in a few days so I can actually start feeling like myself again.
Larry Lewis said:What do you mean, a 2.5 milligram dose? Either take the full 10 mg like a normal patient or don't bother at all.🙂Just kidding... mostly.
I’ll throw back 5 mg every once in a while, but honestly, it doesn't do much for me.
I’ve been on 2.5mg of Zyprexa, but honestly, it only really helped me drift off at the very beginning; now, it doesn't do much of anything, though I can't say I've found anything significantly better than it. I’m also on a prescription for it. Lately, I’ve started taking Cipralex, and I’m just praying to God that it helps take the edge off this social anxiety and the constant fear of having a panic attack. I actually took Cipralex about two years ago, but back then, it didn't really do much for me. However, things are looking a lot bleaker now than they were back then, so I'm really hoping it actually works this time around.
So, I finally pulled the trigger and picked up my first pair of Diesel jeans today, and honestly, they’re actually pretty incredible. I managed to snag number 27. I’m sitting here genuinely wondering if I’m going to pop a button on these things because they feel incredibly tight, and honestly, that size 28 didn't sit nearly as well on me as the 27 did. I gave it my all for them. $300 If I fail that, then what’s the point? It feels like if I miss this mark, everything else just falls apart, too.
Has anyone here who’s actually put in some serious time with Diesel Trap kits dealt with this before? I’m starting to wonder if the buttons are just destined to pop off once they hit a certain point, especially when they start feeling a bit too snug around the hips.
Is anyone else here taking Zyprexa? The fine print says it’s meant for schizophrenia, but I’m popping these daily without having any symptoms of that nature myself. So, what's the reason you guys are using it?

For every post you want to include—except for that very last one—just hit the Multi-quote button. Once you click it, the Multi-quote button will turn red, which is just its way of letting you know those specific entries are queued up. When you finally get to the last post you want to reference, just tap the regular Quote button. That should wrap everything up and leave you with all your selected posts neatly cited in your reply.
Is that right?
Once you click that button, it turns red, which is basically its way of telling you that specific post is queued up for a multi-quote. When you're ready for the final one, you just hit the standard Quote button. That should give you a single reply containing all the posts you picked out.
