I'm Canadian, and it's not available here, however last summer I was at an appointment with a pdoc who works with investigational/foreign drugs.. I'm hoping he'll help..
>Anyway (for what it is worth) I think it might help your case to explain in detail why other options are not acceptable... For example, "I know that we both think that an antipsychotic medication would help, but I found the side effects of Zyprexa to be unbearable...." Or whatever would fit your your situation. Would something like this be possible?
Thanks for the suggestion.. My thoughts are scrambled these days, and it's really helpful to have objective input.. I've been so out of it on anti psychotics, that I had a hard time writing to my doctor about why the other meds weren't working by myself, but at your suggestion, was able to work with my brother, to put something together for my doctor.
