I’m currently taking Paxil 60 and Zyprexa 7.5.
I want to taper off Zyprexa. My prover’s recommended reducing dose by 2.5 every 3-5 days. Has anyone successfully tapered off Zyprexa? If so, how did you do it?
Does anyone have suggestions for sleep disturbances?
Paxil — 60 mg — Previously on for about 8 years. Tapered down to 10 mg and then went back up to 60 | Zyprexa — 7.5 — A month and a half — planning taper | without clinician
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg Trazodone - 50 mg Synthroid - 25 mcg “Your brain and body know how to heal.

Hi @JMC I’m currently tapering from 7.5mg by liquid suspension that I make on my own . Currently at 6.7mg. I would suggest you to follow atleast 10% of previous dose as reduction / hyperbolically. Your provider has no clue what he just recommended you to do unless you have been on the drug for few weeks only and in my opinion its recipe for failure. So please taper carefully. I currently follow a table going to 5mg by the end of November from 7.5mg. I don’t consider myself expert but I know a couple of things when it comes to this drug and faster taper is a big NO! Have a nice day and ask if you need 🙂
Abilify — 25mg — 9 years — actively tapering | Zyprexa — 7.5mg — 8 years — holding | with clinician. Lithium 900mg holding with clinician
