zyprexa withdrawal symptoms

I have had four months of nausea and dizziness because my dr. took me off Zyprexa and put me on another med. I thought my symptoms were from withdrawal but he said that I shouldn't experience withdrawal from Zyprexa, especially since the new drug, Seroquel, was in the same class. So I was told I had an inner ear problem for the last four months and have been suffering through these symptoms.

s their protocol to withold information because there are so many other people facing similar withdrawal symptoms. I am still desperatelly waiting it will go away, but I don't know how I speed up the healing process, if I am ever going to be healed. She suggested new medicine, like other atypical antipsychotics and she also offered me antidpressants which I refused. Because I would be stupid to trust them again.

Hi, I am experiencing burning feet,skin sensitivity and pains in my hands and feet during Zyprexa withdrawal,I`ve been on Zyprexa for 6 years and off it for about 5 months now.Please let me know if the burning feet and all other symptoms will go away with time? Has anyone quit Zyprexa successfully? Please help with any information,many thanks!!

It is possible that she feels that when taken, Zyprexa will dull the anxiety enough to help with the Valium withdrawal but here in the US, this is not a typical benzo taper. Why not ask her outright why she is prescribing this drug? Express your concerns and the contra-indications (heart health, stroke, renal health, diabetes, etc.) & see what her reasoning is? Also, is she tapering you off both Zoplicone and Valium at once? Some Drs. would want to do one at a time.

my daughter quit taking her zyprexia 5 mg and zoloft 150 mg. What withdrawal symptoms will she have? She has been on zyprexia and zoloft for approximately 10 months.

See my post entitled "zyprexa withdrawal or sleep disorder" (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.

The symptoms may or not be related to withdrawal. I would consult his doctor and I probably wouldn't advise discontinuing the medication without first discussing it with them. From what I've read on the forums it seems that withdrawal can vary in duration depending on the individual, length of taper, etc. Keeping hydrated is probably very important. You should discuss this with a health provider. If your son gets worse you should consider getting medical advice.

The insomnia if it is a short term withdrawal symptom should pass in time and if the apathy has the same cause it should as well. Withdrawal symptoms (I have experienced them myself when changing medications too abruptly which is something I don't do anymore) will go away in time but you could discuss this with your psychiatrist for a full answer.

i was put on the medication zyprexa, are there any symptoms such as diahrea that can occur from taking the medication for about 3 months and then discontinuing the medication?

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?

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.

I took Zyprexa 5mg for 3 nights only to help with sleep, but have not taken it for 2 nights. Had really difficulty getting to sleep and my sleep was really broken up. Is this normal for this med.

shortness of breath, dizziness (all day/every day--tho some of this may be due to caffeine consumption), weakness in my legs, anxiety, night sweats, weight loss without either dieting or exercise, daytime fatigue, & not ever feeling like doing anything constructive (such as reading, working, etc.)....& because of this chronic insomnia, I am unable to work @ all. At this point, I'm actually expecting it to last till?? Indefinitely??....

Went to my dr. today and he changed my meds. Took me off Zxprexa 20 mg and put me on Geodon 80 mg . I''m hopeful that I want have any any withdrawal symptoms. If there are any symptoms what should I be on the look out for?

Ask your doctor about increasing your klonopin substantially for the next two weeks, which should stop most of the withdrawal symptoms, then cut that back down over a three week period.

Withdrawing too soon can lead to symptoms such as insomnia, hallucinations, and delusions. In order to reduce your risk of severe Zyprexa withdrawal symptoms, your healthcare provider may decide to slowly decrease your dosage.

There are a lot of people with chronic insomnia and the common factor is Zyprexa withdrawal. Must be an explanation for that. I am thinking to report my case to FDA. Maybe they can open a research and find the cure.

First, is the breakup the source of your problems, meaning you didn't have them until the breakup? Because if that's the case, you don't have a chronic problem and probably shouldn't be on any medication but should have been directed to a good psychologist to get a handle on things at most. The grief and mental anguish over a breakup happens to everyone at some point or another, but it's not a sign of mental illness -- it's working through grief and moving on.
