In reply to P/doc app. comming up.. Question??, posted by ricker on June 5, 2009, at 18:02:03
If one were to focus in on all the meds you take and ask, "which ones have memory/attention problems fairly often?", they would include Lamictal and Clonazepam. Not Zoloft or Zyprexa. Of course, these side effects can happen with any med. I'm just trying to point out that what you are experiencing is common with the two meds that you are not looking at. I think you might be pointing the finger at the wrong party. I just wanted to throw that out there to be aware of while going through your decision making process.I don't know what physical risks you were referring to with Zyprexa. Obviously weight gain, blood sugar, and movement disorders are longterm risks with any AP, but that doesn't mean you are destined to get those. They are risks not guarantees.
Zyprex 5mg is a fairly safe conservative dose. Just to put it in perspective, I was on that dose for 8 years. That's a long time. I did not suffer any of the longterm risks. If anyone was vulnerable to them, it was probably me, since I have a family history of parkinsons and movement disorders, and the whole time I was mercury plus lead toxic and also had undiagnosed Lyme disease.
