1st Zyprexa Update - Feeling Very bad

Sorry to hear my friend. When was the last cut in dose?

Hi @BRENT, welcome.... I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time. I'm not sure how you've been tapering, but you may need to hold your dose for awhile until things stabilize a bit. As was already asked, when was your last reduction and by how much? If you check the Symptoms and Self-Care section you can use the search bar to search for symptoms. We have some helpful information there. I hope things improve for you soon. Let us know how things are going for you. Catina 🩷

I quit taking it 10 days ago and crashed a d burned the doctors put me5 mgs renstatedfrom 15 mgs plus 25 mgs mirtazapine I have been in protracted withdrawl for 10 days thinking of checking myself back in the hospital to top things of my mother is dying hospice informed me she has 24 to 48 hours this pushed me over the edge I think I need hospital but I don't trust the doctors

I'm sorry to hear about your mother....that's so hard. It can take awhile to stabilize after reinstatement, so try to be patient: https://taper.community/thread/ff7ce496-025a-4391-95b4-cdd0063f092b We can't tell you not to go to the hospital, but keep in mind that most medical professionals are not knowledgable about withdrawal-related issues. They will most likely want to add another drug or raise the dose of what you're already on, which could possibly make the situation worse since your CNS is highly sensitized right now. It's good to know what to expect. Do what you feel is best for yourself. I'm really sorry for this stressful time, I know it's hard but you'll get through it. 🩷

I mean 10 weeks not 10 days I been in protracted withdrawl for 10 weeks

"withdrawl" — @BRENT

Hi Brent, I'm new here so I just seen your post. I feel for you brother - praying things improve. I'm tapering zyprexa as well, and the symptoms at 1st were challenging, including some psychosis, especially the intrusive thoughts and anxiety, no, it was downright fear, panic (like before I went on zyprexa). These come from elements in our own mind but it seems inarguable that the withdrawal worsens them. The Bible says by His wounds we are healed. I found that I 1st had to own that, and disown the disease, and keep challenging those negative thoughts repeatedly, regardless of my thoughts and feelings. The Lord is my authority, not the intrusive thoughts and feelings. When you replace the negative thoughts with positive, they say it builds new neural pathways, and your mind renews. Anyway, most of those things are gone and now I'm battling with tough insomnia. There's good advice on how to deal with that here on this site and how to best taper. (My Drs have never really helped much) But we'll get through this crap. God doesn't want this for us forever!
