jerseygall.
pristiq usually took 10-12 weeks to kick in for me. so hang in there and augment till then. Time s*cks when you're feeling like crud, but hang on. after a few months if weight gain becomes an issue you can taper off and by then the pristiq should be working well and you may no longer need the zyprexa, decreasing your med regime even more.
i agree, drop the remeron.
about the monkey trial
that was only shown in monkeys...not humans. also there are contradictory 'results' shown on the internet...google a little more. also that part that it is shown to 'shrink' are allegedly beneficial...infact i'll start from a post here at dr. bob's.

i will mention that zyprexa is shown to prevent brain loss in people with schizophrenia.(and believed to improve brain function in those using zyprexa that do not have schizophrenia)
it effects the white matter (myelin) in the brain. i have read about this online, but only after i was told this by my pdoc.
