zyprexa high doses

Now, I'm on zyprexa 5mg then increase to 10 mg. Zyprexa instead of Syroquil. Also, monitoring my WBCs to avoid it's down again. The goal is to prevent high mood first then manage and control low mood. My mood include high, low, and mixed moods. Thank you for your time, answer, and help.

When the physicians were bringing me off my high Xanax dose (ten years ago) I was put on Zyprexa. It was like a miracle. Anxiety gone, slept good, amazing. But I happen to beone of the unfortunate few that began to suffer from Tardive Dyskinesia or involuntary muscle movements. My lower lip would tremble and go crazy even while talking. Scared me, since I then read that such side effects can be irreversible-permanent. I quit Zyprexa.

Then, about 2 ½ years ago I had a near-psychotic meltdown, mostly about the devil and evil spirits, and was diagnosed with OCD and prescribed Anafranil and Zyprexa, which helped with the irrational thinking and obsessive thoughts a little. Between now and then, I have been diagnosed with OCD, Social anxiety disorder, GAD, major depressive disorder, ADHD, and most recently, aspergers/high functioning autism.

Just a FYI, Lamactil may cause mania at really really high doses. Moderate doses don't. I'm on 200 mgs, and doing just fine! All meds have some side effects, but if prescribed and introduced slowly, many including Lamactil won't have the serious side effects, so don't be scared off by the long lists of possible side effects.

Hi I would like to know if after three years of taking low doses of sertraline 25 mg and 2.5 mg of Zyprexa the nausea and dizziness I feel can be due to the discontinuation of the meds. I was prescribed due to a depresion an chronic anxiety conduct. I also experience a bbit of tingling in my hands and feet that goes on and off switching around.

i have been diagnosed with bi polar for over 7 months now and the meds still arent right, the doctors are trying so hard but i have a hard time staying on them because zyprexa makes me a zombie and a crazy one at that now i am getting all these medical symptoms an di dont know if it's "in my head" or real anymore someone help me.....

My brother takes 10 mg Haloperidol 15mg zyprexa 30 mg mirtazapine as the haloperidol and zyprexa are for the same things why couldnt he just take a stronger dose of haloperidol as it would be a lot less expensive

I started 5 Mgs of zyprexa about 5 days ago for psychosis, mostly "ideas of reference" the zyprexa is now added to my seroquel since I weaned off invega. So far, I am having less ideas of reference but not totally gone. Didn't expect a miracle in taking it less than a week. Can anyone please let me know their experience with zyprexa. How long it took to work and how it helped you. I would appreciate any advice and information on it.

s known to cause muscle spasms and it says do not miss any doses because it has withdrawl symptoms,and so stupid me missed 2 doses. Or could it be anxiety which I do suffer from heavily. Could it be neurological? Could it be some kind of eye nerve problem? Could it be nerves? I did get my lip pierced not too long before this.maybe hit a nerve?Any other ideas or advice would be extremely valued. Thank you in advance.

How to Stop Taking Zyprexa (olanzapine) Your doctor should be recommending that you reduce your dosage of Zyprexa by 5mg a day every six days if you need to discontinue Zyprexa. Making it a week is just easier to remember. You can stop immediately if it’s an emergency, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that without a doctor’s supervision. The major problem with stopping antipsychotics is a sudden return of your symptoms.

My son, 21, has been on Zyprexa for 6 months after presenting with a psychotic episode. His psychiatrist recommended a switch from Zyprexa to Zeldox fearing the deveopment of metabolic syndrome. He has now moved and is looking for a new psychiatrist which will take some time before the first appointment. What dosage of Zeldox would be equivalent to 10 mg daily of Zyprexa? What side effects can be expected during the switch from Zyprexa to Zeldox?

I am so sorry that a Dr. would prescribe this class of drug for insomnia. Were you diagnosed as psychotic, bipolar, or something else? This class of drugs are called antipsychotics. When we need quality sleep, there are plenty of sleep aids available that are quite effective - Ambien, Sonata, etc., to name a few. Who is rx'ing this drug to you? If you want to get off of this, I suggest you find another physician, hopefully a well qualified psychiatrist, who will help you in the withdrawal.

ALSO MY WBC IS 11.2 HIGH, MY NEUTROPHILSIS 77 HIGH, MY NEUTROPILS (ABSOLUTUTE) IS 8.5 HIGH AND LAST MY METABOLIC PANEL (14) GLUCCOSE, SERUM IS 115 HIGH ,THE BUN IS 5 LOW ALONG WITH 3 OTHER ONES THAT ARE LOW ! DOES ANY ONE KNOW, OR HAVE ANY IDEA OF THIS MATTER ! ANY INFO WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL ! PLEASE !

I know for a fact that the zyprexa causes drowsiness. I have been on 10mg for over a year and it makes me sleep well through the night and into the morning. I'm not sure about the other drug, but the one thing I am sure of is don't let him just get off the zyprexa "cold turkey"!!! Read on here under zyprexa withdrawls about what most of us feel when we are coming off of this drug. You will be surprised on what it does to someone's well being....

There are some considerations when on Zyprexa, you will have to have occasional blood work done, as Zyprexa can cause high blood sugar, increased cholesterol and lipids. If you are at increased risk for heart disease, there may be some risks that you would want to talk to your doctor about.

i have felt awful all day,the pharmaist told me the numb feeling i my face is proberly anxiety as the zyprexa usually does that in higher doses and not so soon after taking it,,,,maybe it is my anxiety but i keep feeling like im gonna faint and i cant concentrate..im prayaing i can make it till tuesday and then i will be off to utah and a new dr..i couldnt find the kind you guys told me to find though...

For the 2 years, he has been on the same meds, concerta 54mg bid, welbutrin SR 150 bid, depakote 500mg in am and 1000mg in pm and zyprexa zyda 10mg, within the last 3 months methylphenidate 10mg was added to his regimen for problems his mother feels like he is having at home.

I have been on BP meds for several years. About a year ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. I've heard that the zyprexa and others like it can cause high blood sugar. Diabetes also runs on both sides of my family. Are there any mood stabilizers out there that don't cause Diabetes? I like the Zyprexa because it works really well for me. I guess I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there like me?

I am on here since I am detoxing another notorious drug methadone, guess I am gluten for punishment or made some bad uninformed choices but Methadone while horrible I must say is easier than Zyprexa. Mind you I jumped cold turkey and there is debate if a taper to lower doses makes the symptoms less severe so you may want to go that route with your Dr. but some say does not matter because when you jump off completely you going to be sick. I would ditch that Dr.

My sister was diagnosed with mood disorder a few weeks ago and was recommended to take Zyprexa (2 pills/day) for 6 weeks to treat it. She took the medicine for 2 weeks and left it without the doctor's recommendation as she used to feel too exhausted and she thought that her emotions were under her control now. After a week of leaving the medicine, she slowly became hyper and even sucidal.
