they took me off risperidone because it raised my prolactin levels REALLY HIGH and put me on Zyprexa, but since I am having trouble getting it covered(ive put in several calls to pdoc to call insurance to get it overed but hasnt been of yet) but since its not covered right now I have none. so I am taking my risperidone again, thats better than taking n othing and going cold turkey, right? I dont know, it seemed like the best thing to do. I take 5mg of zyprexa and so I took 4mg of Risperidone. I figured that was close. I dont know, I just didnt want to go cold urkey.

That is really horrible waht they are doing.... The zyprexa equivalent to risperidone 4mg is about 20 mg, but I would suggest you stay at 5 for now.

ok. Thanks Dr s.
Yeah they are being pains about it, probably because its the oen that works best and therefore is expensive. tomorrow Ill just take 2mg of the risperidone = 5mg of zyprexa. Thanks for the knowledge |

When my ins. co. balked at paying for some of my meds my pdoc wrote a letter & included scientific articles that stated the drugs were appropriate & effective for my condition (bp 1). The ins. co. then covered them.--Suzy
