Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;ve been on zyprexa for about 3 months. While it does tame hypomania it tames too much and I don&#039;t want to do anything anymore. Sometimes my mouth works like I have Novocaine in my lips and my speech comes out in a mumble. I&#039;ve gained 10 lbs. Some have said it was prescribed for anxiety but it has made mine worse. I&#039;m afraid of having to do the things that I have to do. I&#039;m not afraid of doing them, mind you, but afraid of *having* to do them. I feel so much pressure about doing things that I&#039;m unable to do them. That&#039;s messed up. And that has come on me this past two weeks. Maybe I&#039;m cycling or maybe it&#039;s this drug. Still, enough negative to get me off of it."
