Philipa, do not let anyone's experience scare you away from a drug. Keep in mind that everyone is different and that "case reports" hold practically zero weight in the medical literature.
Just because someone has a bad - or good - experience with a drug does not mean the drug is not for you.
One of my friends experienced an onset of psychosis at a therapeutic dose of Xanax. If she came here to tell her story, would you stop your benzo? Of course not! Because it works for YOU.
We do not yet know enough about the brain to know what will work and what will not for individuals. Keep your mind open and read the scientific studies.
> Paul I'm praying for you too. Zyprexa is a atypical antipsychotic. It is also used for anxiety. Unfortunately one of the side effects is weight gain. Althought we are all different and this might not happen to you. You're really making rethink the ENSAM. But I thought it was out of your sytem in 2-6 hours? Was I told wrong? And I know how careful you are so I guess the pdoc said to not start the prozac for two weeks. Let me know how things go and post to us all and E-mail. Blueberry is very knowledgeable. Love Phillipa
