Thanks for the advice guys! I really want to go back to the Zyprexa. I've taken it a few times over the past 10 years and it's been great except for some weight gain and some blood sugar issues. The blood sugar issues pretty much resolved when I watched my diet, but my pdoc didn't want to risk it and took me off. I've been wondering about zyprexa zydis. I've heard it's supposed to be less severe on the weight gain side plus I'm on the zonegran so maybe this would work? I'm getting a second opinion from a private practice Pdoc soon since my insurance kicked in. My hubby is also having major anxiety issues about work and ended up in the ER two weeks ago and is now takng ativan. It seems to help a bit because his sales numbers are jumping up and he's less anxious for a few days then cycles back into being anxious and iritable and we feed off each other's stress. He will be seeing the pdoc on Thursday to see what can be done to calm him down. I was even thinking zyprexa for him because even at really low doses it can do great things for anxiety and sleep. I have ambien, but that's not working for me either right now.... geez what a mess.... ah well, this too shall pass. This is so hard. I want to do everything I can to help ease this for him and keep myself stable at the same time.
