> Anyone know a good Pdoc in the Philly area? One who is aggressive, and is open minded about trying aggressive med combos? For instance, I talked to my current Pdoc about Zyprexa (for depression) and she gave me a comment like "wow, that's a heavy duty drug". Well,you probably get the picture...
Just email me (phillybob2000@home.com) and I can give you some of my Zyprexa from my own personal medicine chest (you name it and I've got it ... just about).
Just kidding about givin' you my stash, but I can give you the name of my pdoc (Center City) who is very receptive to ideas and suggestions. I doubt that he would prescribe Zyprexa right off the bat without knowing more of your history (i.e. with discussions with your prior doc or more likely and preferably, discussions with you). He's around $145 for 50 minutes, I think. But, he definitely has had more than one good experience with Zyprexa adjunct therapy in combo with Prozac (at least). I never worked with it much due to Zyprexa's weight-packing-on penchant.
