Question: I had an EKG back in December, 2016 which read nonspecific St abnormalty, sinus tachycardia, and abnormal ECG. My blood pressure and heart rate are quite high everyday. So the question I have is this. I was taking an antipsychotic medication after my dad got murdered. I've been on it for around 6 years and was taking the XXXXXXX dose of zyprexa. I got very ill from taking the medication, and I became obese. My cholesterol hals been around 300 fr a few years without any medication, or hospital assistance... Basically my vitals are horrible and because I gained so much weight, I developed some serious physical issues. I've lost over 40 pounds now, and my high cholesterol is even worse now that I've gone off the med that was making me so Ill. My doctor never told me about my abnormal ECG which was done in an ER...or even about my sky rocketed blood tests over a few years!!! So my question is this...what can I do??? I actually had to move out of state so that my family can take care of me...and hopefully the doctors in NY are more responsive to horrible results in blood work and heart monitoring!!! However in the meantime, while I'm waiting a month to see my new cardiologist, I'm scared about the damage being permanent!!! My vitals run around 148+/92+/103+...that's my most recent test result.

When I was taking 20mg of zyprexa for 6 years, it made me horribly unhealthy. I asked my doctor to take me off of it because I felt so sick all the time. Unfortunately he told me to taper off of zyprexa over .a 2 week period instead of tapering off it for a year or more!!! Soon after, I began to have full withdrawals 24/7 for over 6 months. This is when my heart went haywire. I'm actually surprised I'm still alive after those horrible withdrawals and being flat out ignored by my pleas to help me, to my doctor. No response, advice, hospitalizations or referrals to cardiologist. My withdrawing was like I've seen in movies...in a ball...shaking uncontrollably, sweating all the time, severe spasms in my colon and abdomen, fevers, confusion, malnourished and dehydrated (to name a few) Ithought I was dying from an evil flu. It wasn't until an ER doc grabbed my hands...while pulling me up to his face...he wanted to know what drugs I was on because he was trying to save my life! At that point my heart was almost beating 300 a minute...or said EMS. So I'm wondering, is there any hope to live a healthy life now...or did the deathly withdrawals cause permanent damage to my heart. Is that a possibility??? My doctor refused to believe me when I give him a list of symptoms. Instead of reading the list, he just counted how many complaints I had and didn't address any of my symptoms, including me being suicidal! He has shown a more defiant stand since I told him I was sick from zyprexa withdrawals. Have of you ever heard about severe zyprexa withdrawal causing permanent heart problems??? I think the only thing I got out if my doctor, was him saying that I had serotinin depletion syndrome...and maybe a fatty liver. That's all he ever said!!! No info on how to treat such high blood panel, no meds given for cholesterol levels around 300 for over a full year...and zyprexa withdrawals which destroyed my body ad brain continued without any medical supervision for over 8 months now. He says it's impossible for me to be withdrawaling for 3 months it more!!! Impossible​ he says! Is this treatment by a doctor normal??? I've read that some docs get some great kickbacks from the drug companies. Wondering if that's one of the issues?!!!?? He messed up and refuses to help me get better...and now treats me in a hostile way, and absolutely refused to even say the word zyprexa or care for my symptoms he is so readily able to denounce. So can it still be possible to get medical care to reverse these issues? And if not...what do you suggest for me to get help? Is this treatment, or lack of treatment valid for a legal issue? I'm still so sick after 8 months and am still in bed. Any suggestions would be amazing!!!
