I slept but with vivid dreams so real I thought it was real life in a wacky way. I thought these dreams would go away with the lower Cymbalta dosage but I guess not. I've tried every class of antidepressants out there and this is the only one that works. So for now I'm stuck taking it and...

I feel overwhelmed as long ago symptoms are starting to re-emerge after a long absence. I know the cause is my inability to take certain medications due to side effects. The medication isn't fully out of my system yet. Where will I be at when it is?

I feel lost, used, worthless, and that everything is useless. I hope this will pass. I need to start checking out my housing options. It is a two year wait in the state I live in for disabled housing.

I feel like I dove head first off of a cliff and crashed into depression. I'm hoping this doesn't last. I also got ripped off at the ve4t's office today so I'm feeling taken advantage of. The vet took the dog in the back to do blood work and did other tests without my knowledge. When I went...

I went into my pdoc's office to talk about my high anxiety. I left with a script for lab work that had a manic episode as the diagnosis code. I am feeling very up.

I'm feeling total relief. My pdoc prescribed something different for anxiety and it is working so far.

I am feeling relief. I stopped the Seroquel and started gabapentin under my pdoc's orders all in the same night. That was last Thursday. By Sunday I was seriously suicidal, almost passed out three times, and have facial numbness. I am still having a reaction to the class of drugs Seroquel is...

@Anrish Happy Birthday!

I'm feeling validated. My pdoc actually listened to me earlier and acted in my best interest. Yes I'm allergic to zyprexa and had a bad reaction to it. But I'm also having a reaction to seroquel which is in the same class as zyprexa. So I can't take any drug from that class. I stop the...

@Anrish and Ms Spock Thanks for the well wishes and sympathy. I don't know how the manufacturers keep zyprexa on the market with the side effects it has. My family doctor increased the lasix and put me on tramadol for the pain. The tramadol worked yesterday for the pain. Finally some relief...

I am feeling anxiety and totally fed up. There is very little that can be done about my bad reaction to Zyprexa. My legs are really swollen and the pain is severe. My joints are creaking and cracking. I can't stay in one position long enough to sleep. I'm trying tramadol for the pain because...

I had a horrible night. I woke up in pain and with a really bad nightmare. I've been up since 3 am.

Another day of pure anxiety. I'm headed for a panic attack. I don't know how to stop the panic before it escalates more.

@gizmo Thanks for the hugs. I'm sending you a bunch of hugs to you. I'm feeling pure anxiety. My anti-anxiety med is not working. I see my pdoc on Thursday and hopefully she will help. Until then I'm escaping to my room where I can just sit in the quiet and block out the chaos all around me.

I woke up twice to nightmares and was really drugged from a new medication. I fell back asleep but pain woke me up. So not a good night overall.

I am feeling tired of being put down and used. I'm also still in pain from my drug reaction so I'm feeling bad and easily irritated.

I'm so anxious!

I feel pain and am now told it will take 5 weeks for my adverse reaction to zyprexa to go away. So I will be stuck with the pain for 5 weeks.

I just woke up for the day and it is the middle of the night. There is a problem with my new med and I can't take it. I'm waiting to hear back from my pdoc.

I feel anxious. I spent the morning in the emergency room where I was told by the resident doctor that my ankles weren't swollen which they are. The attending doctor told me that my joint pain was from the Zyprexa. I was told to take motrin and tylenol with codeine for pain. I was told by my...

@Britt.f7 I hope you're feeling better and got some sleep.

I am feeling ill. Today is the first day I'm off antibiotics and my legs are very swollen. I'm beginning to think that this is from the skin infection I have and not a reaction to the Zyprexa I was on. It is very painful and I pray it can wait until I can call my family dr. tomorrow. I hate...

I'm beginning to wonder if my pdoc is wrong and that the swelling in my legs is from the skin infection I have. I finished my antibiotics yesterday and woke up today with severe swelling. I will call my family dr. tomorrow. Hopefully, I won't need IV antibiotics.

@KwanYingirl and @Glenn R. Thanks for the replies. Yeah the reaction I'm having is a pretty big one. My joints are so stiff at night that they lock and wake me up. It is very painful so I went to my family doctor this morning and got pain medication. It is taking the edge off the pain which...

I was on 10 MG of Zyprexa daily for less than a month when my legs swelled up badly. I am now off of it for a week and am still experiencing swelling as well as stiff joints. My pdoc said that the Zyprexa isn't fully out of my system yet. The problem is that my joints are so stiff that the...
