Time Passes

Bob had a doctor's appointment on October the 18th and it was decided that he should continue on with the lorazepam but add Zyprexa. He is taking 3mg of lorazepam in the morning, along with 2.5ml zyprexa and 3mg lorazepam at bedtime with 5ml zyprexa. He is also to take 1mg lorazepam in the afternoon. After 2 weeks of that regiment, we had an appointment on Thursday, November 3rd and he is to continue for another 3 weeks. Though the shaking is confined to the morning - as soon as he gets awake, it is normally gone within an hour or so. It is NOTHING like it was, but is still causing him distress. Why is it happening? The doctor still says it is anxiety but honestly, I can't help but think there is something else going on. The long term affects of the toxic dose of prozac(fluoxetine) and the number of hour and hours of shaking/jolting that Bob endured has to have taken a toll on his nervous system.
