[QUOTE="dcmckay, post: 266095, member: 7214"] The psychiatrist has basically tried just about every medication and medication combo, with the exception of Clozaril, and he is hesitant to put her on that because we live so far away and she would need to be seen at least every couple of weeks d/t potential life-threatening side-effects. Her Zyprexa dose right now is 30mg, which is pretty high for someone her size (5-3 and 115lbs). She has gained 25 pounds since starting Zyprexa in February, which really upsets her and just leads to more rages. Texas Medicaid would pay for another psychiatric hospital stay, if we could just find one within driving distance that was willing to take her. The next closest psychiatric hospital to us in Texas is in Dallas, about 7 hrs away. I will check in to NAMI. I'm not even sure if we have a group here. [/QUOTE]
