Yeah, when I went into the hospital bc nothing would help me sleep. I was taking 40 mgs of zyprexa and still couldn't sleep. Not Dr approved just on my own he put me back on clonazapam. I hadn't even met with him. So I told the staff can I meet with him and finally did. He was like you young lady were in a mixed episode for probably a year or so. Oh they also when I first was told I needed to be admitted gave me 30 MG of zyprexa thinking it would help with my panic and insomnia and it didn't. So I didn't want to be admitted and they put me on a 51/50. I couldn't leave. Other than being put back on a benzo again it was the best thing.
I'm really sorry you're stuck on them again. And I'm sorry you were ripped off them like that. That's just plain out cruel!
