Hi Sebastian:
Thanks for your reply on my question. However, one more question I need to ask is that when you cut down Zyprexa, ... you did *NOT* experience 'insomnia/fragmental sleep pattern?' In my case, I've been on Lithium along with Zyprexa and two AD meds., then whenever I waking up, I need to make a trip to the bathroom. Besides this, I need to go to the kitchen to drink some liquid to quench my thirst. Thus, the fragmental sleep pattern causing me 'bad cycle.'
In your case, a reduction of the Zyprexa was taken place over the 5 years' period. For this practice, ... you didn't experience any of 'Withdrawal symptoms???'I just wonder how you battled over 'withdrawal symptoms,' such as 'not' sleep well? Did you take any sleeping aid for this problem?
If you did, what sort of med. did you take?I want to desperately cut down from 5 mg. to 2.5 mg., because this amount, 5mg. makes me some 'zombi' feelings during the days, although Zyprexa has reduced most of my Bp symptoms.
H.G.
