I've been taking 20 mg. of zyprexa for the better part of two years and have gained 55 pounds. I've begged my psych to take me off and she refuses. she has good reason. the two times we tried something else i ended up in the hospital psychotic. i don't care. there are more to try and I've been stable for months. Maybe I'm shallow but my appearance matters to me. I don't know how to talk her into something else, and i feel railroaded every time i try. What do you think? should i stick with zyprexa since thats the only one thats worked or somehow get her to change. any ideas on how to do that? The whole thing just sucks. maybe i'm just ranting.
