My Psych wants me to go onto Zyprexa when he realized I am having trouble with my eating again. He said it is used to gain weight & would only be temporary until I started eating again. I don't like putting drugs in my body after being the all time anti-depressant guinea pig for years & having almost every side effect possible even undocumented ones.

I did research on the drug before finally deciding not to take it. My blood work came back from my GP with a high glucose level & I thought if Zyprexa can initiate diabetes, the combination was not ok no matter how short of time is would be (which my estimate would not be very short).

I also do not like combining any meds with what I am taking for my migraines for fear that it will unbalance what is finally working for the past 1+ years. My life requires me to be very active & not thinking foggy so I just can't get myself to take another anti-psychotic drug. My psych feels that I am resisting treatment which is also part of it, but understands my feelings about drugs. I'm sure we will be discussing this in a few weeks at my appointment after even more weight loss.
