I take 5mgs now, for about a month now. I was on 10mgs for most of the last 5 years. I had a failed attempt last year, going from 5mgs to 0mgs. I lasted 8 days and slowly was developing a very hard time eating solid foods. By the 8th day I could drink milk and soda, and tried forcing some fries down my throught but they would not go down. My doc told me to take a 2.5mg zyprexa, within minutes I could eat again. This and the panic attacks that also were getting very troublesome. Eventualy I pleaded with my doc to put me back up to 10mgs of Zyprexa, which I religiously took till 2 months ago, when I started the decrease. I got down to 3.75 mgs and got a little panicy, so 5 mgs.
One thing I've noticed when I take less zyprexa, my thinking changes. I get forgetfull. But at the same time more interested in people.
