So, I guess this is normal, but what is “normal” anyway??

So, olanzapine (zyprexa) is out and perphenzine is in.
The olanzapine was causing me some serious digestive issues like constipation, gas, stomach pain and the dreaded weight gain. Pretty sure half of that weight gain was because I haven’t been able to poop for a month. I’m starting to feel like a science experiment, I know that it’s supposedly normal to be going through a lot of med changes, but at times it just frustrating.
So in the meantime, cheers to perphenzine and another merit badge.
