Avatar m tn The dose you took is relatively small, but it can still cause side-effects and withdrawal effects. Did your doctor prescribe this to you? If you are having trouble sleeping, there are many other techniques and medications that can be used.
Avatar m tn Has anyone else experienced these problems and if so will I ever feel normal again post Zyprexa? I am still battling withdrawal effects while taking 2.5 but no where near as severe as they were when I was not taking any. I am fearful it is going to get worse again. When I stopped taking the medicine I endured 8 painful days and was devastated to hear that I needed to get it back in my system and wean down.

Avatar f tn (still dealing with it, right now i am suffering from severe sleep deprivation and some really wierd symptoms like confusion, memory loss, severe inattention, etc.....look up zyprexa side effects and withdrawal, it can do some really messed up stuff to you. But on the other hand, not everyone reacts that way.
5790942 tn?1374334321 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. I will say it again, this is not guaranteed to happen to everybody. But Zyprexa has recently gotten some bad press in Canada and parts of Europe. It is also a billion dollar a year top earner for the company that makes it. Some of my fingers tremble now, uncontrolled. Zyprexa, idk If you have just started Zyprexa, read up on it please!
5093508 tn?1390543931 t mean that this will happen on Zyprexa). I too, have looked into the side-effects of Zyprexa and find them disturbing, particularly for us older folks. I would ask to see the studies and protocols for the efficacy of this particular drug coming off of benzos. I also find it a red flag that your Dr. prescribed Ambien when you expressed a wish to wean off Benzos and Benzo-type drugs.
Avatar f tn s a recent chance you might be experiencing some withdrawal from the previous med while experience side effects of the newer med (they usually go away after your body/brain is adjusted to the changes). The medication can take up to 4 weeks to work so give it time and if you feel something is wrong report as soon as possible to your doctor.
Avatar f tn The numbness very well could be a side effect of the Zyprexa (although not a commonly reported one), but first, let me ask you a few questions. Do you have any history of high blood pressure, or heart disease? If so, you may want to just play it on the safe side and get checked. In the very least, give your PCP a call and explain the symptoms. It very well is likely nothing to be concerned about, but it is always better to err on the side of caution when having these kinds of symptoms.
1030383 tn?1338460785 I'm withdrawing from Zyprexa, Abilify, Ativan and sertraline. It's been three weeks and I've had terrible nausea, stomach pain, fatigue, and generally not feeling good. How long will this last? And, any ideas on how to deal with mania since I can't just "knock myself out" like usual? I need to get enough sleep to stay out of the hospital!
1030383 tn?1338460785 t stop taking your meds without your doctors approval because the withdrawal side effects can be worse than the meds. It can be extremely dangerous and you just shouldn't do it. If you think you need off of them, talk to your doc.
603015 tn?1329862973 Insomnia is a withdrawal symptom of this medication. It would probably be best to get an appointment with your pdoc sooner; not sleeping is a major trigger for BP relapse. In fact, all of the withdrawal issues from any medications can kick the mood swings back in.
Avatar n tn m not a doctor but it started like panic attacks during the day with very negative thoughts, suicidial thoughts, fast hertbeat and the feeling I lose my mind. I used to take zyprexa 10 mg which i graduatelly reduced to 5 mg, 8 months ago and I didn't want to go back to 10 so i tried to fight this dissorder dut I couldn't and the panic was increasing graduatelly until I needed a xanax to function. My doctor told me yesterday to take 2 mg risperdal at night and 2.
Avatar m tn Can anyone give me some info. on zyprexa? Has anyone been given this to help stabalize their mood, during withdrawal? If so, please share with me if you benefited from this, and is this addictive as well?
1623698 tn?1299161234 Within days I was extremely dizzy and nauseous and I concluded that it was withdrawal from Zyprexa so the Psychiatrist said to go back on it. Two months later, when I was feeling better, we tried it again but the same thing happened. By this time I was being told that I had an inner ear problem or it was caused by the new med. I was then given Saphris and continued to be dizzy and nauseous. After two weeks of that I was taken off that class of drugs and given Remeron.
Avatar f tn Just look up side effects and long-term effects.. I was speaking out of my own experience but my chemical balance is obviously completely different to that of your son's which would change the effect it has on his mental and personality states.
Avatar n tn I've been taking zyprexa for almost 6 months and am still suffering side effects. I get blurred vision and fogginess which makes it hard to concentrate. I'm sleepy all of the time and could fall asleep at my desk if I could. I've had bipolar disorder for 10 years and have never been sleepy all of the time. In the past, prior to this medicine, I've always had troubles sleeping. Does anyone else have the same problems as me?
559058 tn?1215810834 I dont have any bad side effects and even my sex life is great. For me the zyprexa is so much better. I think depakote andlithium should be take off the market.But again thait is my opinion. There are much better meds out there than those two.
Avatar n tn My son is experiencing 7.5 mg zyprexa withdrawel I believe. He has been in bed on and off for 4 days with headache and very sick to stomach. How long with this go on????? What can help the stomach???? He has only been on this med for 3 months. I would hate to see what someone on this for years would go through!
1257808 tn?1322762215 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.
