I was on 15 mgs and now I'm on ten. But the goal is to try and be off off APs altogether. I don't think I can do it. I'm already having a hard time sleeping. I've had to take benadryl along with my other sleep meds. And I take 2 mgs of lorazepam at night for sleep and she wants me to come off that. I'm just scared I'm gonna end up in a mixed state that could end up in a psychosis.
I had a really scary psychosis in 2011 and have been on APs since then. It's me who wants to try going without an ap. I think I've changed my mind. When I see her on the 17th I think I'm gonna see about trying invega, abilify or latuda just at a lower dose. Maybe even saphris. But I have to come off the zyprexa. I've just gained too much weight on it...it sucks bc it helps with so many other symptoms too...
