Mr. Timid -
Frankly - you are lucky to be alive it sounds like! There is a Dr. Gerner - whose former partner - well .... she had a patient who *died* due to overprescription of meds... true story and can search "robert gerner ucla lawsuit" to read about. Mr. Gerner is pictured on the stand - poker faced just as I viewed him in our personal sessions shortly after his zyprexa and rapid updosing of Nardil gave me chronic tardive movements .... well ... he did not actually *discuss* if with me afterword - but we did manage to discuss some things he was interested in ...
Anyway - check it out - it is there... he is kinda old and skinny - but a good Dr. Good lucking enough to get a trial of his own for sex with a patient also published on the Net!!!
Ps: I want to be sure this post relays important med info - and it will - Gerner told me on day 1 that Zyprexa is "good for tardive ANYTHING" - and so well - there you go ! If you trust this Gerner I suggest a consult! He has openings!
