So I'm so happy, I went from 15 mgs of zyprexa to 2.5 mgs. I was so scared of doing it bc I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I am. Had to increase the trazadone but that's fine. I Was on it for sleep as well as using it for my ap. I gained 40 lbs on it that's why I wanted off it so badly. The pdoc I was seeing wouldn't take me off it. Got a new Dr and now almost off it. Have lost 15 lbs so far. Using Invega now for my ap.
Just thought I'd share some good news.

I'm happy for you. I recently came off Zyprexa - I was on 25 mg. I started the taper around July and finished in January. I mostly suffered from insomnia as withdrawal effects (sorry, I can't figure out the correct word), but starting clozapine (clozaril) took care of that.
