i dont like it at all, my main worry is zyprexa weight gain that i want to counteract with amantadine, but it cause psychosis in some cases
i spoke with my doctor (not bob haha) but to add amanatadine he said it wont help
also gluchopage, he said too risky experimenting with diabetes medicine
then theres seroquel who appear the only medicine where i start feeling good, but makes me psychotic but i only took it at evenining oncee a day
heavy sedation, cant function in life

Sorry you don't feel any better. I think your pdoc is right about the glucophage. You don't want to lower your bloodsugar and feel more anxiety. It's only been a week, right? Fondly, Phillipa

Time goes so fast. I didn't realize it had been so long. I'm really sorry you feel so bad. I keep hoping you will feel better. You seemed to be for a while on the seroquel and when you were researching alternative ways. How is your online gambling idea working out for you? Fondly, Phillipa

Hi J,
>i felt during the attack thunder heart beat, i coudnt focus and i felt like a part of my brain to focus didnt work while having this attack
Are you on any medication to treat your anxiety? It sounds like you're having panic attacks, I do not think you are psychotic. I think you were taking Tranxene, are you still taking it? What dose?
Regards,
Ed/

Hi J,
>tranxene
I would imagine that your doctor has prescribed Tranxene to prevent panic attacks. I hope you have a better week this week :-)

hi, i gained 5 kilos on zyprexa
eye symptoms have improved im on 10 mg zyprexaits time to add amantadine, i cannot discuss it with my own doctor because he doesnt want adding gluchopage to zyprexa to prevent weight gain
if the amantadine causes psychosis in me, then im dead....
i dont wanna gain weight just be myself
now that i am in hospital i can say bout seroqueel
but they put me on high dose 400 mg wich will make me a total zombieor should i try SOLIAN first?
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, ALL I NEED IS A WEIGHT GAIN STOPPER FOR THE ZYPREXA :(

Hi J,
>eye symptoms have improved im on 10 mg zyprexa
:-D
>its time to add amantadine, i cannot discuss it with my own doctor because he doesnt want adding gluchopage to zyprexa to prevent weight gain
Have you asked your doctor if he will prescribe orlistat (Xenical)? It might help you loose some weight.
>i dont wanna gain weight just be myself
I know :-( I hope the hospital has healthy food!
>but they put me on high dose 400 mg wich will make me a total zombie
I expect that your doctor would probably increase the Seroquel dose at the rate recommended by the manufacturer........
25mg twice daily on day one
50mg twice daily on day two
100mg twice daily on day three
150mg twice daily on day four
....and then adjusted according to response.>or should i try SOLIAN first?
I think you should give Zyprexa and/or Seroquel a good trial before considering other options.
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. I hope things go ok in hospital next week. Ask your doctor about orlistat (Xenical).

hey how r u doing philipa and ed? i hope ok
im on Zyprexa 10 mg for 3 weeks, the TD has improved, im going to ask my doctor to increase dosage to 20 mg, maybe it will mask the TD and solve my problems like the seroquel did, i have never felt good on any other anti psychotic then seroquel wich i took low dosage
Seroquel seems like a magic bullet for me wich i discovered by accident,
if high dose zyprexa doesnt make me better ill start seroquel, but i still think it will make me psychotic, thinking that im jesus is not a taught i like to have, hhaahahahahahah ;(
Q to ED: when first starting seroquel do i need to take twice daily? if so when my doc prescribed it he said nothing like take twice daily instead of once..
my friend told me he takes 40 mg of zyprexa because he feels badyes 40 mg..
okay another IMPORTANT thing, im not gaining weight on zyprexa like i used to, the TRANXENE is quiting my hunger i think a bit.
anyway that xenital will it help me loose weight for sure?
my main goal is to REVERSE my TD, cure the mental disorder
its like war zone for me atm, the eye stuff scares the hell outa me, ive read GEODON worst EPS side effect profile in this timee.
GEODON should be BANNED!!!!

Hi J!
>hey how r u doing philipa and ed?
I'm not bad thanks :-)
>thinking that im jesus is not a taught i like to have.......
You thought you were Jesus while you were taking Seroquel??
>Q to ED: when first starting seroquel do i need to take twice daily?
You could take 25mg at night for a couple of days and then increase to 25mg twice daily. From then on you would need to take it at least twice daily.
>anyway that xenital will it help me loose weight for sure?
Xenical might help you loose a small amount of weight. You will have to exercise though and eat a good diet. If you eat lots of fat while taking Xenical you will get diarrhea!

I thought you were concerned about the side effects of amantadine.

im on zyprexa, but i dont feel the uncontrolled hunger like i had before im on zyprexa for 1 month now

Hello my friend!
>i dont feel the uncontrolled hunger like i had before im on zyprexa for 1 month now
Excellent :-)
>could the Tranxene be responsible for this?
I suppose it's possible but I don't think it's likely. Perhaps Zyprexa isn't going to cause as much weight gain as you expected :-) I hope you're eating healthily!
>i weigh 90 kilos
How tall are you? Perhaps 90kg is a good weight for your height.....
