I am taking my new medicine for bipolar disorder but still feel hypomanic. Should I ask for dose increase? |
I am on Zyprexa 5 mg daily for almost 2 wks now. Feel good, but know I'm feeling too good. Am I expecting results too soon? Two weeks is not enough time yet. So glad to see that you feel better. Rather than up the dosage (given a chance to let the medicine get into your body and make all the necessary changes) your Dr. may want to change meds. But, I think he will want you on your dosage for another 4 wks to 3 mos before making any changes. Good Luck! Source(s): I have a son with same problems. yes i dont think a dose increase with your current medication will help you, depending on how your body reacts to it. Go to your doctor and they may prescribe you different medication (with a higher dose) as well as some other ingredients to "kick start" the impact on your body. My sister has bipolar and needed a counteracting drug to take with her bipolar meds. I don't know the name of it, but you should tell your doctor, they should know what to do. Give it a month, but let your Doctor know what is going on. You should discuss these feelings with your doctor. If you are feeling "to" good I don't think an increase is what you need. I am not a doctor nor would it be wise of myself or anyone that answers you to give you such advice. You really need to call your physician and find out if you should hold off in getting a new prescription or if he/she wants to increase or decrease your medication. I hope this helps. |
