zyprexa and israel
first of all, new icon. *points* i <3 zooey deschanel.
so, anyway, my psych eval on the 9th went well. the psych doctor came to the same conclusion that i did...schizophrenia, manic depression, and high anxiety. my insurance that i have through the state is just to cover diagnosis of medical conditions to support my getting the insurance, so in other words it doesn't cover prescriptions. she did give me some samples of zyprexa, though. she said it would help both the schizophrenia and the manic depression, and that i should start to see an improvement in about a week [instead of the usual four to six weeks]. she might put me back on prozac later on, but for right now she wants to make sure the zyprexa works instead of shoving me a cocktail of pills. which, i totally agree with. cuz, i mean, if one thing doesn't work, and you're taking four different things, how do you know which one isn't working? i also got a session with my therapist. it was cool, we just sat and talked. i have another session with both the psych doctor and my therapist in two weeks.
on the zyprexa itself...i've been taking it for the past couple of nights now...she said to take it at night because it can have a sedative-like affect. and boy she wasn't kidding. the first night i took it at 9:45 and by about 10:30 i was like, "holy shit, whoa..." and made a mental note to take it a little bit later...
also, for yeshiva, i have a project to do on israel. basic stuff, like major cities, population, current gov't, etc. thing is, being the procrastinator that i am, i've left it off for the last moment. it's due tomorrow. well, ok, it's not quite the last minute yet [since i have class at 8pm, it's just due sometime before class] but still, i'm cutting it pretty close . so now i have to actually get my brain in gear and force myself to do it so i don't get all stressed out tomorrow.
on a brighter note, we're having meatloaf tonight. :D
