I have a hard time smiling at work sometimes is it my medication?

Question

I have a question why I don't smile at work. Everytime I am sitting at the front desk at an office I have a hard time smiling at visitors.
Do you think it's my medication that doesn't make me smile enough at visitors? I am using Zyprexa pills for my symptons cause I see a psychiatrist regarding my symptons.

Answer 1

Highly possible. I have the same problem and I am on zoloft. But sometimes you have to push yourself to smile...

Answer 2

I'm familiar with the medication however it shouldn't have any effect on "smiling" at people. What COULD be happening however are a number of things. Is it making you sleepy? Is it making you feel somewhat depressed? Are there other side effects such as staring, stomach pains, headaches, time spans where you seem to drift off like daydreaming? Everyone is different in how medications affect them so look at those things. If you've just started the medication, give it some time to work as it usually takes a good 2 weeks for it to get into your system to work. By that time you should be able to be more aware of your surroundings and become more accustomed again to your day by day rituals and start smiling again. In the mean time, try focusing on what you're supposed to be doing and force yourself to be more conscious. And then you can greet the visitors with your smile that you're used to doing.
Good luck! Do remember to check in with your doctor if you're still have certain side effects.

You probably do not like your work or you're stressed in life. I have few suggestions

1) Transfrer to another part of the office.

2) You probably are in a bad mental state, but use balance in your day. I get depressed sometimes because that is who I am. I'm not a naturally happy go lucky person, so when I'm at work I leave all my problems at the door and put on a happy face and become happy. But once I clock out, I get back to my original state. Sometimes I'm less in a depressed state, because I accomplished a lot with my right attitude. But once the clock is punched I'm just me and do and feel like I want. I'm not the corporate puppet on my time.

3)Realize that you are not in a Ms. Sunshine mind state , sometimes but if you really want to have a good time at work, resort to action. Our brains act differently. No brains are alike. It is hard to feel what we want to feel sometimes. But try doing happy and positive instead of feeling positive. So if you catch yourself not smiling, just ask yourself what would a positive and happy person at work "do" at the front desk. Once you do your action, your body chemistry will pick up and you will feel better. "Doing" instead of "feeling" has gotten me through a lot of negative feeling situations in my life.

Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. To solve the erectile dysfunction i suggest to check this natural method https://tr.im/4Tev5 .
Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and mental health problems can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues causes erectile dysfunction. For instance, a minor physical problem that slows your sexual response may cause anxiety about maintaining an erection. The resulting anxiety can lead to or worsen erectile dysfunction.

Answer 5

Ask your doctor if this is a possible side-effect of your medication. If not, then ask yourself if you like the kind of work you're doing.

Good luck!
