Try to destress as much as you can and do healthy, distracting, relaxing things. Definitely pamper yourself with some treats and walks in the most peaceful and beautiful places you can find.
I think you should give yourself longer to allow the side effects to go away, keeping in touch with your doctor. I myself cant take antipsychotics, for example. How long did you take the Zyprexa? If it was a short time span, you have a lot going for you. You did the right thing, you stopped the drug. We're all with you.
