I agree with this. Do your research on the Internet to look for withdrawl symptoms of the drugs you are on. Better yet, ask you doctor about it who you are paying to help you. I just do not think you understand what is behind the classification of a particular set of drugs. Tegretol and Trileptal is a case in point. They arppear to be metabolized differently by the body even though they are analogs.
I can see that benzos and Zyprexa have similar effects on you. So in this case, I would take the suggestions others have made here. But please stop playing doctor with your meds. You should be working with you pdoc on this. After all, he is the one who has the medical degree and experience with meds.
All of the suggestions made above is JMVHO.

I wish you well.
PS: I think this was a trigger for me related to IMO people playing doctor. My apologies.
PPS: I have been on Zyprexa for over 15 years. I never had any withdrawl symptoms, including long term. I was on Clonazepam. I had this terminated too quickly. It was hell for me as a consequence.
