In reply to Zyprexa a good thing ..., posted by willow on March 14, 2001, at 13:10:47
Willow,
This is wonderful news about your Dad! It's effect on him is obviously having a good effect on your spirits as well. I've been taking Zyprexa for awhile for BP II and the peace of mind it has brought me is worth it's weight in gold.
I hope your Dad continues his improvement!
Be well,
Greg> My father has had schizphrenia for a longtime and was treated with an injectable medication for the past ten years which caused severe TD. It has been a year since he has been on the injections and has shown slight improvement in the negative symptoms of the illness. He has tried the risperdone but wasn't compliant and now is taking the zyprexa. It has been less than a week and he is showing improvement in the negative symptoms for the first time in over twenty years. : ) I just hope all keeps going well!
