I was 5 days clean from a 11 month daily crystal meth binge. I actually was suffering significantly less withdrawal symptoms than the previous period of abstinence. But felt this time I would try an anti-depressant to ward off the cravings for more meth. I went to a busy 'walk-in clinic' (in Canada we have these) and saw a doctor who prescribed me a weeks worth of Zyprexa. His description of the drug was it was an anti psychotic/depressant and should be taken in the evening (if not these will knock you out). I needed to work so I figured if these are anti psychotic and anti depressant then i'll give it a shot. I took 2 instead of the advised one 5mg pills and within 2 hrs I wanted to kill any/and or everyone around me while at work. I became light headed irritable and faint. I had to tell my boss I needed to leave. I went home and passed out for nearly 20 hrs. For those of you who plan on doing anything big, please don't use this med it's a sedative as I found out to my surprise.
