Thinker, thanks so much for that. My pdoc prescribed Zyprexa, but I have had difficulty getting my insurance to cover it (admin woes). So I used what I had, even though I hate the stuff.
My pdoc phoned me back this afternoon (while I was out taking a wonderful 2 hour walk in the rain) and was very angry with me, and insisted I get onto zyprexa "NOW!" Yes yes, tomorrow, even if I have to buy a week's supply and get another script for insurance after that.
But I am really worried about the weight gain side effects of Zyprexa, so I ate a banana for breakfast and nothing else all day. Did that have my wife happy with me when she found out?!!!
Now the Seroquel is wearing off, I have been feeling very excitable, with restless legs (which got me walking in the first place). Thanks for the warning. I'll be extra careful.
