Hi and welcome! I think it's great that you're trying to help your daughter like this. Give her time and she may want to give the forums a try. There's a lot of very helpful and caring people here. I wanted to mention that it is not at all unusual to try a med, have it work great, go off that med, start it up again, and then not have it work at all. Can I ask what dosage of the Zyprexa your daughter is taking? I'm asking because Zy is notorious for causing weight gain (I gained 55 lbs on it), and you mentioned that she is losing weight. Also, I hope you'll stay after her Psych about being more open-minded with a possible med change. Three months is plenty enough time to give a med, or meds in this case, a chance to work. If she's on Lexapro, then Celexa might be a possible alternative.

I wish you all the best, and I hope you'll stay in touch and let us know how it goes.

Greg
