My doctor thinks that I will do fine without it (the Zyprexa). I also think it slows me down a bit. I don't know. It just seems to me like it's the logical thing to do to get off of it, but then again, I've done well on it for a while, so it definitely makes me nervous going off of it. I also think Zyprexa impacts my creativity negatively (which I know is true, though maybe the med is not directly responsible for this). I have doubts about the whole thing, but it seems like the right thing to do.


You’re on another AP already so you can taper much faster...usually when I switch the taper is just days....
