woman friend diagnosed with schizophrenia (paranoid type) was quite concerned about her really unsteady gait She was devastated by her condition. I personally witnessed several times how her walking was so different fr om her usual walk. Before this she regularly went to the gym. She was in good physical health and very active.

She went to her primary and he dagnosed her with Parkinson. He took her off the zyprexa since he suspected the med was the cause of her troubles. Now that she's off the drug her paranoia is much worse. She visited me in my apt 2/12/16. DIdn't feel I was in danger. However it was rather disconcerting to hear her constantly say how this "Steve" is the fault when ever an thing bad happens to her She's literally blaming everything on him. First even when she was on the Zyprexa she told me she heard "Steve" only in her head He doesn't exist. That she only heard him in her mind. IOW that he only exists in her head and nowhere else. She thinks he is controlling every part of her life. Her symptoms not surprisingly are worse off the med . Conversely her movements are much worse on it I am expressing my conern, my feelings by posting this post. If you can give me advice fine if not that's fine too Mainly writing my concerns.

Did the Dr replace the Zyprexa with something else?

I was mistaken Thought the dr. took her off the generic Zyprexa. I just know she told me she took herself off the med and did it cold turkey.

Issue so like the doctor should have given her something to replace the zyprexa.
