I enjoyed your message very much. I have tried to meditate many times in my life; and find it most challenging because my mind is so busy. Any tips on how to get to a quiet space and be able to meditate? Also, what types of exercise do you find most helpful?

TIA

Hi I was wondering if you would be willing to tell me your experience with Zyprexa. I currently take 2.5 and I have tried several times to stop taking it abruptly and slowly and neither works. I usually have bad anxiety when I try to stop taking it. And I still have anxiety when I do take it. I have two children a girl 5yrs and a boy 2 1/2 yrs. I also take 150 of Effexor.
I have been having trouble sleeping lately. It seems that I think that I sleep but I don't actually sleep sound. I went to a sleep study and they only found mild sleep apnea. Do you have any problems with your sleep? I was wondering if the Zyprexa has been doing this to me because I take it at night. I hate anxiety!!!!!!!!!!!!! but who doesn't. Please offer any info you can offer.
Thank you!
