I have been experiencing a range of strange symptoms after going off zyprexa. Has anyone else lived through zyprexa withdrawal who could help me out with some advice?
Basically, I took it for 10 days, went off cold turkey, and got terrible insomnia and headache. I went back on it for a few days to get stable. Went off again after those few days, and a couple of weeks later, all h**l broke loose. I started feeling weird in my head...almost a depersonalization/derealization feeling. My emotions were blunted. I got song snippets stuck in my head.
I went back on the zyprexa to taper off more slowly. 2 months later, I am only now starting to feel a little more normal. I am stuck at 5mg because when I try to go off altogether, I start vomiting.
Thanks for any advice from those of you who may have been there.
