Firestar you can do it. Before your appointment write down what you want to talk to him about. If he brings up that you need to exercise, watch what you eat more I would suggest telling him that it's offensive. All this does is place blame on you and in reality it's the med that's causing the issue. I highly doubt your pdoc has ever been on zyprexa and until he is, he has no right to question your body's response to the med. Yes this is a very sensitive topic for me.
