> The other day I complained a bit about Zyprexa but I have to tell you that I firmly believe in it and other APs and ADs that have helped millions of people. The adjusment period can be tough and trying, but for most there is a Pot O' Gold and the end of the rainbow.
> Last summer my wife and I were convinced that our 15 yr old son (now 16) would have to be hospitalized for the rest of his life. (paranoid, delusional, angry, flat affect, strange body movements, afternoon pacing for hours, no sleep, running away during the night and more not so fun things.)After 8 months on Zyprexa and Zoloft he is back in a bigger and more difficult High School getting B's and some A's, has a good friend, is jovial, taking horseback riding lessons, going fishing and leading a pretty near normal life. If you are going through a crisis, stick with your meds, if they don't work see your Dr and get them changed. It really can all work out. What about tomorrow? The future? Stick with getting today right and tomorrow will take care of itself.Great to hear...and that is good advice....we all must endure, if we endure enough salvation comes....
