Hi Ronaldo,
Sorry to hear "all the wheels fell off", which is a good way to put it concerning your Zyp w/d. Please see my other posted response to your post to me in the other Zyp w/d thread a few topics up from this one.
Has your pdoc tried adding a sleep aid like Lunesta to your meds mix? I was using that and Xanax in the evenings to help me settle down and get to sleep.
As I stated in my other post to you in a different thread on this topic, I shared some Psycho Babble posts from others with my pdoc, who took it upon herself to report this to Eli Lilly. Of course they claimed they had no knowledge of this, which may be completely true, as I am not aware of any studies concerning withdrawal of Zyp after long term use and associated complications -- probably none exist.
Still, if I try to quit Zyp again and develop the muscle cramps that kept me out of work and which I describe in my other post, I'm going to get serious about thinking of going the class action route. I mean, what if someone who actually developed diabetes from Zyp was experiencing what we have experienced and just could not quit the drug - to me that's a very serious matter.
Anybody else think getting legal over this is a good or bad idea?
