Must be some serious anxiety to need such a powerful AAP.
The biggest concern with zyprexa is the metabolic side effects. Some studies showed that metformin helps a lot with that. If your doc hasnt mentioned it you may want to bring it up. Zyprexa can raise blood sugar levels and change how the body stores and uses energy from fats. It can be a BIG weight gainer.
Are you stable now? Enough to consider therapy like EMDR? I recently started with a trauma specialist and Im working towards EMDR.
