I am CG.  My wife Ann is the PWP.  Has
slowling decreased Tasmar and now has
eliminated its use because of hallucinations.  Still with hallucinations
and on Sinemet 3xday.  Just perscribed
new medication (Brand name ZYPREXA,
Generic name OLANZAPINE.)
Does anyone have any info on this drug?
Could not locate it on BEST PILL, WORSE PILL and side effects could be
serious.
Ann is leap year baby and will be 80 this
coming 29 Feb. 2000.  Diag. 1992 under
care of US Naval Hospital, Oakknoll,
which was dis-estblished in 1995 I believe. Has bee on Sinemet for 3 or
4 years, tried Mirapax with no success, then
Tasmar with no help and now has these
hallucinations.
Whats to do?
