I have a cousin I am really close to. His doctor prescribed Zyprexa for him. In 40 Days he gain 20 pounds!
He ate like a fiend. It was like he had a one track mind. I knew what was going on, but I didn’t know how to stop him…or that I could. I felt so bad for him. But he needed to have some type of help and there was not other options in his mental health system.
You can read more about the “side-effects” of Zyprexa or Olanzapine in “What Doctors Don’t Tell You.”
Luckily, the doctor he has said that he doesn’t have to take this drug for the rest of his life…just to get through the episode.
In my search to become more organized I found a new website, The Brat Factor.
It is about not procrastinating and doing what you are supposed to do. I put off doing things and then my house get messy, I can’t find important documents for work and I feel just awful. I have found that hiring a person to help me organize at $20.00 and hour helped me more than most counselors or psychiatrists who charge much, much more.
My organizer has mentioned that she thought I had ADHD….I don’t believe it…but I a not going to challenge her. It is a nice “excuse” for my behavior and my mess.
Anyway I signed up for “The Brat Factor” and I received this inspirational message today.
