Michael & Bob - Could Michael & his doctor be talking about Zyprexa? There are a few recent articles on its use in affective disorders and for suicidality. I heard Dr.Herbert Meltzer mentioned something about this with regard to Clozaril as well. Atypical antipsychotics have been shown to reduce the mortality from suicide in people with schizophrenia. Just a thought. - Cam W.
