    i WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SCHIZOPRENIA , WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD , AND i HAVE A VARIETY OF MEDICATIONS , LIKE HALOPERIDOL , AND AKINETON , THEY WERE OK ........... THEN MY PSIQUIATRIC TOLD ME THAT YEARS LATER I was so good and that I do not need more medication , but 16 years later or maybe 20 , I have a hard breakdown , I was hearing voices , many maybe 20 voices at the time and I heard crickets ,, and my husband and my sister told me , there are no crickets in here Vicky ................ and I was loosing my sleep in only one week I only sleep a day maybe 2 or 3 hours .....because of the voices .

    Then one of my friends came very early to my house because my husband called her , and she found a place to help me , I am not from this country , and there , were two Angels that call my attention and leave me in my bed when I awake a piece of paper with some information , and then I went to a study for my desease , and that was

    the best decision of my life , in kansas city missouri , with DR SOMMI AND JOAN HUNTER AS MY NURSE ,. THEY GAVE ME ZYPREXA AND I ALMOST EXPLOTE HERE IN USA ,I GAIN 56 POUNDS MORE ..........AND THEN I WENT TO THE DR OFFICE AND I TOLD ,IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE ME THE MEDICINE , I WILL QUIT TAKEN IT , SO THEY TALK TOGETHER AND THEY GAVE ME GEDEON , AND THEN  I BEGIN TO LOSE WEIGHT .

    N ow my weight is 128 pounds and I work full time , and in my free days 2 a month I take care of old people .

     A.ND ALSO i AM VERY CURIOUS TO LET MY DRS SEE THIS EMAIL TO SEE  , IF THEY CAN APPLY ME THIS , BUT I WILL WANT TO KNOW FIRST , IF I AM GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT WITH THIS TREATMENT ....................

    HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND ..................
