Big Zyprexa/Risperidone decision - Advice???????

Posted by ace on April 12, 2003, at 0:38:42

Here's my OCD/resdidual anxiety augmenters...
Ok gang - Lithium is not working, At the moment I am just waiting out to discontinue it.
Pindolol - I took it for one day 2.5 tds - the bastard made me depressed! That's out of the question.
Don't think I will bother with Clonidine or Bromocriptine.
This is the big issue - I was big on Zyprexa UNTIL I heard of the withdrawal reaction. I read someone didn't sleep for 5 days! And there are other insomnia posts. I can't go without my sleep because it makes the derealization severe and anxiety.
Risperidone doesn't seem to be as bad on withdrawal. And there are many trials (But not as many as Zyprexa) supporting it's use as an augmentative agent in OCD.
What do you guys think? Would Zyprexa definately bring on insomnia on withdrawal. Help, cause this is ALL that is stopping me from using it. I have slept well with Nardil - would this counteract Zyprexa's insomnia?
What about Risperidone? Any withdrawal? How about I take the Zyprexa dose at morning (mane)?
Please help.
Ace.
