Well, my psychologist was nice enough to give me a copy of my psychiatric(pdoc)evaluation report. I wanted to know if it was the pdoc's idea to give me the Zyprexa or my GP. Sure enough the pdoc had mentionned Seroquel (up to 100 if possible) but nothing about Zyprexa.

The Seroquel was a bit too sedating but the difference between 50 Seroquel and 5 Zyprexa was like going from a flimsy water gun to a uzi. So for now I'm staying off the Zyprexa until the 5th.

At least its good to know what I'd been diagnosed with because its hard to be cooperative and compliant when at the same time you don't understand what the treatment is going to do to you and what the doc is trying to achieve. At least if I had been warned about the side effects of the AP, I think it would have freaked me less. Right now my confidence in that GP is close to nil.

It was interesting to read the evaluation ... I was amazed at the level of details included and the Pdoc's ability to percieve my motivations and feelings. I didn't find anything upsetting in it so I don't know what the big fuss was at the clinic when I asked to see it ... Furthemore, here in Canada its a civil right ... people who have files on you MUST let you see them ... so long as you're not judged mentally incompetent.
