So i took 2.5mg zyprexa for 2 months. Finally realized it was making my hypomania worse so i went to 1.25mg. i then had rediculous anxiety so i decided to get off te crappy drug for good. Im on the third week of no zyprexa and my moods are all over the place! I havent felt this crappy in a long time. A few days ago i added magnesium and vitamin d3 and that seemed to just ratchet up my aony. i have 0 tolerance for any stress, and with 2 toddlers that just doesnt work. amd my poor wife is really stressed by my moods and grumpyness. I just cant deal with this much longer. Im going to stop the magnesium and d3. WTF are they doing the opposite of what they should be doing?
Im going on my 10 year anniversary to the carribean in 2 weeks and the thouht of travel just makes me want to crawl in a hole. is this all withdrawal from zyprexa? i have no motivation and feel really helpless. |

As I have found, Zyprexa is a BEAST to get off of. I've been tapering off for months. I started at 15 mg and now am at 7.5. When I messed up my med boxes about a month ago and didn't put ANY zyprexa in the 2nd one, I had crazy withdrawal. What fixed it? Going back up to 10 mg. You're dose is so low, you're basically off. I don't understand why you're having withdrawal. What has your pdoc said?

Sorry you are struggling
I'm going to guess that yes it is the withdrawal. Psych med withdrawal can be heavy duty stuff. I would monitor yourself closely if it starts to reach a dangerous point As for the vit d. I don't think that can make you feel worse. Probably just a coincidence

I see my psych dr tomorrow and I think she's going to increase my zyprexa rather than decrease it because I've been having some paranoia and anxiety.

Hey Moose72, when I first started the zyprex, like for te first two weeks I felt like a million bucks. like I didn't know i could feel this good. But that quickly wore off and I was just extra agitated and grumpy alot. I read at crazymeds that the half-life of zyprexa was 6 days. So why am I so much more agitated 3 weeks after stopping such a low dose?
