Hi Fisherman How are you doing today I am going to the doctor next tuesday and I am going to ask him about the new ad you told me about. I wonder if it can help me fight the cravings for adderall and ritalin. That would be great. Did you gain weight on zyprexa? I was up to 30mg. I am down to 15mg. I am tapering off of it but it is taking a long time. I heard that topamax can help you lose weight. Have you heard of that? Talk to you later Your friend Carly

Carley,

A lot of people gain weight with Zyprexa but since my dosage was so low it never made a impact with me. Now with the Remeron I am taking now is putting weight on me and I have to be real careful with type 2 diabetes. Really do a slow taper down on that Zyprexa because I tried getting off it on several ocassions and ended up taking it again at around the 5 day mark.

You seem to start having worse depression about that time but if you hold out a couple of days more it will be better.

I really think that new AD Cymbalta has a lot of promise for depression, chronic pain and with hopefully less side effects.

keep me informed on your progress,
fisherman
