Zyprexa is a good antipsychotic but it's certainly not the only one. You need to let her know what's going on with you because it's a painful situation for you and it's not likely to get better by itself. The side effects of an antipsychotic may be less likely to damage you than is paranoia. Can you ask for an effective dose of Abilify or Seroquel? There's no point to taking Zyprexa at a dose that doesn't treat your symptoms.

Abilify and Seroquel are contraindicated for me. Had side effects that I had to discontinue for.

I'm sorry Moose. That's very frustrating. Good luck with your doctor today. Does she not understand the concept of cirrhosis of the liver? I mean really?!? Oh and thanks for steering me away from zyprexa.

Saw Pdoc. She said I don't sound paranoid -a just being a mom. My Rexulti stays at 3. Zyprexa is down to 5! I'm happy!

Got into trouble today for trying to open the women's bathroom which has a code. It didn't open but when I told the lady I thought my daughter was in there she opened it so I could look but she added that she couldn't have gotten in anyway. So I think Walgreens hates me but locking the bathroom doors?? I guess even some Starbucks do it now. I have a script to get still- that's why we were there- waited over an hour and had to leave because my daughter has a Dr appointment. Days like this, I wish my Pdoc would prescribe me benzos.

There out to get me also but its more of a spiritual sense in such a way that I can avoid it but by that time I have my hands in it and am a danger to self.
