Hi J,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had to be admitted to hospital but I'm glad to hear you're getting treatment. Panic attacks are awful, I know.
Do you think you will start Seroquel? It seems that your panic attacks are not related to Seroquel. Seroquel could make you feel better and help your eye symptoms :-)
>they suggest 3 month therapy
What sort of therapy will you be having?
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. I'm glad you've got internet access in hospital!

im home they let me here at the weekends,
good news, i think the zyprexa is improving my eye symtpoms
ive read anti psychotics can mask symtoms of TD
the only thing that bothers me is taking AMANTADINE to not gain weight on zyprexa
please advice, i once took 100 mg for 7 days
my plan is to take 100 mg twice a day to stay on my same weight while on zyprexa

Hi J!
>good news, i think the zyprexa is improving my eye symtpoms...
:-D
>please advice..
I think you should take 100mg once daily. I don't want you to risk side effects by taking a higher dose. You did well when you took 100mg/day before.

Hello J,
Try not to be scared, you have people to support you :-)
>i suffer from side effects from 100 mg aswell
What side effects did you get when you took 100mg amantadine?

Jeroen, I'm glad you're getting help,and it's nice you can go home on the weekends. I know you're scared, but try to listen and do what they tell you to do. I think it will help. Have you asked the docs about the blinking and TD? Fondly, Phillipa

Hi J,
>insomnia, energy (i hope not too much)
diziness, a bit euphoria also i think.......Try taking the amantadine first thing in the morning to reduce the risk of insomnia.
>also my psy doc put me on Clorazepate.....
Is it helping your anxiety? Tranxene might also reduce your blinking. What dose are you on?
>any danger combining clorazepate with
amantadine?No :-)

Excellent :-)

Don't worry, if you do gain weight on Zyprexa there are other treatments as well as amantadine that you can try :-)

Have a good week Jeroen. Get back to us as soon as you can with a report on how you're doing. Remember we care. Fondly, Phillipa

Dear Jeroen,
I think you're back in hospital now. I think you have computer access though so you'll be able to stay in touch :-)
How much do you weigh? Perhaps you need to change your diet. What is the food like in hospital? If you are very overweight you could try orlistat (Xenical)- you'll still need to eat a healthy diet though!
I hope there are some nice people in hospital. Perhaps you will be able to make some good friends there :-)
Kind regards,
Ed.

I didn't know you could have computer access in the hospital. Not in the States, at least not anywhere near me. Yes, post us Jeroen. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi P!
I could be wrong, I guess J doesn't have access to a computer in hospital.

Jeroen, I'm really sorry you are still feeling so badly. But, I'm glad you're in the hospital where you can get the help you deserve. Hang in there and in a while the docs will get your meds right and you will feel better. Fondly, Phillipa

i dont like it at all, my main worry is zyprexa weight gain that i want to counteract with amantadine, but it cause psychosis in some cases
i spoke with my doctor (not bob haha) but to add amanatadine he said it wont help
also gluchopage, he said too risky experimenting with diabetes medicine
then theres seroquel who appear the only medicine where i start feeling good, but makes me psychotic but i only took it at evenining oncee a day
heavy sedation, cant function in life

Sorry you don't feel any better. I think your pdoc is right about the glucophage. You don't want to lower your bloodsugar and feel more anxiety. It's only been a week, right? Fondly, Phillipa

Time goes so fast. I didn't realize it had been so long. I'm really sorry you feel so bad. I keep hoping you will feel better. You seemed to be for a while on the seroquel and when you were researching alternative ways. How is your online gambling idea working out for you? Fondly, Phillipa

Hi J,
>i felt during the attack thunder heart beat, i coudnt focus and i felt like a part of my brain to focus didnt work while having this attack
Are you on any medication to treat your anxiety? It sounds like you're having panic attacks, I do not think you are psychotic. I think you were taking Tranxene, are you still taking it? What dose?
Regards,
Ed/
