I didn't think you did. I just wanted to be sure that no one should necessarily come to that conclusion and abort a trial too early.

Wow.
Have you tried Zyprexa? I might go back to it and add amantadine (Symmetrel) to prevent weight gain.
If you don't mind my asking, what medications are you taking for Lupus? A friend of mine seems to be ailing from several autoimmune conditions simultaneously, and I'm not sure she has been treated aggressively enough. Her doctors did not initially think that she had Lupus, but I believe they will have to re-think this. I don't think there has been any involvement with the kidneys, thank God.
Thanks.
