> > Considering that your psychosis was med induced, you may be able to wein off of the APs if you avoid the offending med(s). I wasnt but that doesnt mean that you arent able to. I too never was psychotic before MAOI.

The reason I'm currently taking Zyprexa is not to treat psychosis, but hard to treat depression.Its funny how different we all are. Zyprexa makes me lazy and lethargic. I would never think it could help depression.

> I'm so sorry that happened to you Lamdage. Psychosis s*cks. And its tough to discard a group of meds (MAOI's) when they have brought me/you remission. I'm assuming this is why you continued to take them?Yes depression and social anxiety was much improved. At a time i was doing so freaking well when i was in Hawaii. but i took more than Just Nardil. Also Wellbutrin and a shitload of supplements. I was like "life? f*ck yeah lets do it". 1 1/2hours of sports every day. I wasnt always psychotic on Nardil.
> You are like the Angel on my shoulder lol. "Don't do it Jade, its not worth it. Bad things could happen".
Well if there is no alternative to Zyprexa then at least you could do regular bloodwork. If your sugar goes up you can stop.
