> I take 5mg Zyprexa every day, and that normally does a really good job of keeping those "bad" feelings at bay (the suicidal ideation and self harming thoughst).. I guess yesterday really just took me by suprise...

> I spoke with my pdoc, and he thinks I should get off the Prozac.. he said simply not to take any more, so will be trying that (hope fully no withdrawal!).. I had a very bad reaction to another SSRI (Seroxat in UK, I forget its US name) so he thinks I'd better stear clear of them for now.. (Effexor worked great, but withdrawal was hardest thing I have ever done, so not going near that again!)

> Thanks for the support and suggestions. And its interesting to read Jays comments about Metformin as I was considering goping on this to help control my Zyprexa weight gain and PCOS..

> Nikki xHi Nikki, Ya I am also having another rough time with Prozac. I don't want my comments on Metformin to discourage you from atleast giving it a shot, though. Start low and go slow would be my best advise..and I am sure most on here would agree. I hope I didn't go overboard on the negatives.
Best wishes in whatever your choices...
Jay
