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.....

i am 1 month on zyprexa and my TD has not been reversed ... i think its only possible with high doses
i have a question for you, why do neuroleptics interfear with the muscles in the body?
Posted by ed_uk on May 6, 2005, at 6:38:50
In reply to NO CURE, posted by Jeroen on May 6, 2005, at 6:26:54
Hi J,
Neuroleptics don't interfere with the muscles themselves, neuroleptics act on the brain to alter the way that the brain controls movement. Neuroleptics block dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. D2 receptors are important in the regulation of movement.

damn i need a cure
i havent tryed lecithin yet i am on zyprexa 10 mg but i feel not good on it, i only feel good on seroquel, like i never been sick when i take it even after 2 days
btw the seroquel withdrawal was very bad for my eyes, the uncontrolled movements were evil and worse
Abilify, Geodon, risperdal, zyprexa (will try highest dose before i give up then switch to Seroquel.
the bad thing bout seroquel is to take it twice day, that means i wont be able to function in real life because of the high sedation.i will feel like a zombie, 400 mg seroquel is high dose. man man man, why bother
HELP!!!!!!!

Hi J :-)
>the bad thing bout seroquel is to take it twice day, that means i wont be able to function in real life because of the high sedation.
>i will feel like a zombie, 400 mg seroquel is high dose. man man man, why botherYou might not need as much as 400mg. You'll have to try a range of Seroquel doses to find out which dose works best for YOU. Hopefully, if Seroquel did make you drowsy, the drowsiness would reduce after a few weeks :-)
How much Tranxene are you taking at the moment? Do you think it's helping your anxiety?

Hi Jeroen, I'm sorry I wasn't home to talk with both you and Ed. But it sounds like you're doing much better. How about a lower dose of seroquel during the day if 400mg is too high during the day? What do you think ED? Fondly, Phillipa

Hi J!
What do you do when you're in the hospital? I hope you don't get too bored. Are you having any psychological treatment?
>yes its helping my anxiety........
