>And I keep mulling over my experience with the prima-donna psychiatrist who genuinely believed that if I felt zyprexa was making me feel bizarre, it was evidence of a developing psychosis and indicated that I needed even MORE. Meanwhile, I noticed she had a zyprexa pen and notepad.
I had that exact experience with a cocky new psychiatry graduate who tried to tell me Zyprexa was a regular antidepressant like Prozac. When I corrected him he asked me how I knew that olanzapine was the generic name despite the fact that it was written in plain view on his desk top jotter and coffee mug. I did eventually take it and he refused to believe that 5mg was making me feel spaced out and drowsy. He also thought Zyprexa would cause no significant impairment in driving performance even if taken in the morning.
I'm believing ever more strongly that they should really think about taking some of these drugs themselves before making comments like that.
