First, thank you Cam for your post, I appreciate it.

I'm not recommending that anyone take any type of medication. I'm not a doctor, nor do I have the benefit of being a pharmacist like my dear friend Cam. But I would like to say this about Zypreza. I searched for a very long time trying to find a med or combination of meds to help relieve my BPII symptoms. I was severly suicidal and had a medicine cabinet full of failed meds. A new doctor suggested that we try a very low dose of Zyprexa (2.5mgs). I knew it was an AP and didn't like the stigma attached to it, but I was desperate for something, anything to help pull me out of the pit I was in. Within three days of taking my first dose, I was 100% better, no exageration. My suicidal feelings were gone, as were the ruminating thoughts, the manic behavior was under control. And I'm not the only one who has claimed that Zy has had this effect on them. I say with 100% certainty, that if it weren't for the Zyprexa, I wouldn't be here today. If you want to call me the Zyprexa poster boy, that'll work.

I just thought it would be nice to point out that while the med is being touted as the drug from hell, for some of us it literally has been a life-saver.

Thanks,
Greg
