>Yeah I was thinking about the reason why Zyprexa was made in the first place. Promethazine is a great idea for my more agitated nights, thanks.
If the herbs and supplements I have been experimenting with lately continue to make me feel well, and well enough to start getting really good workouts like I used to, I may not need anything extra for agitation. I am also using Ashwagandha in at night in hopes that it helps. It worked pretty good last night.
Thanks again, Ed
