Well, we are on day 5 of starting Zyprexa.  I have some questions.  The doctor chose Zyprexa this time because it tends to cause weight gain, and with taking Concernta, where he only eats maybe once a day, we thought this might tend to balance it out.  But, his appetite is just as poor as it was before.  Also, for the "calming" effect, this is what I see.  He is calmer, BUT.  The only way I can explain it is if you had a pot of water on to boil, the water is boiling and you put a glass lid on it.  It is "contained" but you can look through the lid and see it is still boiling.  If you understand what I am trying to say, that is what I see.  He is calmer, but I still see the underlying anger and the least bump raises the lid of the pot a bit.  Has it just not been enough time?  Thanks


PS:  Forgot to add, sleep?  Not.  He was up until 3:00 this morning.  Yes, I'm sure he's taking it.  It is the Zyprexa Zydis.  Thanks
