I just spoke to my Pdoc, which my wife called earlier. The bugs are getting worse I see them everywhere. I believe my wife and mother are conspiring to take everything from me and leave me left for dead. My pdoc increased my Zyprexa to 20mg and xanax 2mg prn as I am becoming very agitated. He suggested if I don't improve within 48 hours it might be time for a vacation in the hospital. I hope change in medicine works. I really don't want to go IP. End of rant.

It may be the best thing for you. You seem paranoid and very bothered. Give it some though. ((Hugs))

I hope the med change works too, but maybe prepare mentally for IP as a possibility.

I'm in a similar boat but the meds my doctor has me increasing every 3 days has kept me out of IP so far. I hope your meds work and you can avoid it but if not, we will all support and route for you while you take care of yourself and get the help you need. Blessings to you and your family.

Thanks, Like Franz said I am mentally getting ready for the hospital. I would hope the zyprexa helps 20mg is a pretty hefty dose.

Woke up this morning and took the extra zyprexa my doctor wanted me to take. I think 20mg might be the magic number. Feel much better.

I hope the Zyprexa really does the trick for you. I know no-one wants to go IP if they can help it. It's good that you prepared yourself though. Thinking of you....

So I talked to the doctor this morning. He adjusted my meds a bit and I will see him on Thursday. Looks like no IP for now....
