Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Sheri, we have the glucose tested monthly. No problems. The cases of it were something like 9 in 2 million cases, so I'm not too alarmed with it. Other than gaining about five pounds in six months, (which david needed!), no problems. The only treatment we ever had severe problems with was Dr. Megson's protocol, which triggered a seizure disorder that took a year to get under control. So everything has its risks and benefits, don't you think? Thanks for the info, though. Liane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 My son's zyprexa amount has just been reduced and he does not appear as " drugged " as he once did. I feel that the brightness is back in his eyes and face. My problem is, is that he is more impulsive and nasty. Any suggestions on what we can use to help him. He is chelated with Andy's protocol. thank you in advance Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 we have only used it in an urgent situation, not on a regular basis... worked very well without being too sedating... but we used 1/2 of 2.5 mg tab for 165 pounder. ( ) Zyprexa Hi! I would like to know if someone already used the medication Zyprexa. Comments or recomendations are very welcomed. The plan is to change, slowly, from the medication Risperdal to Zyprexa. Thank you, All the best! Pedro, Myllene, Thiago (17) and Victor (11-HFA).

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 We use Zyprexa for an emergency med also. Can I ask why you are changing off the Risperdal? The only time we give the Zyprexa is when our son becomes agitated to prevent him from becoming violent. It works well with him, using 5mg for a 135lb boy. I will say that it does make him sleep a lot so we try to only use it in the evening when we need it. In the mornings, we just muddle through as best we can.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Why is he changing from Risperdal to Zyprexa. When I asked my dr. about starting and AP (antipsychotic) med, he said they all cause weight gain in children, and " ZYPREXA seems to be the worst. " My other son with Bipolar is on Risperdal and it does cause weight gain, but works the best for him. He has been on Abilify and Seroquel, but never on Zyprexa, so I can't speak from experience on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
