History of present illness: The psychiatrist who has been treating the patient does not take her insurance any longer so she needs a new provider. She has been taking olanzapine 15mg daily. Past Psychiatric History: The patient started hearing voices as a freshman in college. Initially, the voices were just chattering but then started saying they were going to hurt her. She said: "I thought people were stalking me." She was treated by a psychiatrist with olanzapine and that helped. She thought she was fine and stopped the medication. She relapsed and was hospitalized and placed on Risperdal, but was unable to sleep. She was prescribed a variety of antipsychotic medications. They did not control the paranoid thinking and the voices were loud and controlling. She was placed back on olanzapine which she feels has been the most effective and takes this consistently. The provider re-ordered the olanzapine and advised an increase in dose. The patient was fearful of developing diabetes related to a family history and declined the increase. What is the provider's next best prescription choice for this client?
