Hi.

Just a quickie.

Zyprexa seems worth looking into.

It is an atypical neuroleptic that has very little potential to cause EPS and TD. This drug should help with the ruminations and probably negative thinking as well.

Sorry that I couldn't provide any more input, except to say that you should perhaps continue with your work in therapy. These illnesses can be driven by both the psychological and the biological. Fix both, and your home-free!

Good luck.

> I have a phenomenon which is not very clearly defined in DSM definition (in my opinion, at least). Many times, when I get small cues that something is going to go wrong, I start thinking and thinking about it, building hills of theories from small cues. My therapist calls it “negative thinking loops”. I can’t find a good definition in the DSM-IV. It is not paranoid, since when I am shown the real facts I do resign my theories. However, I do believe that drugs for paranoid ideation will help me, though.
