Thanks. It bugs me a lot that I have to keep on top of these matters and "inform" the pdoc, i.e. if I had not mentioned my son's massive weight gain (10 lbs. in a month or two is massive if you're five years old and going from 63 to 73 lbs.) the doctor hould have never asked about it or mentioned the possible danger. My own skilled and knowledgeable Pdoc told me that it is not only an appetite problem but a possible diabetes problem associated with zyprexa, and my son's pdoc never told me that or seemed concerned that my son was catapulting toward diabetes, perhaps.
I will bring up the heart subject now to that doctor, but like I said, I look forward to finding a better psychiatric practice for him when I move to the northeast in one month because the healthcare standards here in Florida are woefully substandard compared to the way I was "spoiled" in Baltimore.
