> I was on Zyprexa for 2 months, then developed extreme anxiety and had to discontinue.

Now I am on Remeron, which helps but am afraid it will have similar withdrawal symptoms. How long will Zyprexa withdrawal take?Perhaps the anxiety is not from the zyprexa. It could be a new symptom of your initial illness or a new illness all together. Since the anxiety didnt go away even after several weeks of stopping the zyprexa I would be inclined to think its not that which caused it.
> Doc says there is no withdrawal with Zyprexa but I know differently.
I certainly think its possible to get withdrawl effects from zyprexa however I didnt get any when I stopped. Also just my experience but I have stopped, due to forgetting to refill my prescription, mirtazapine/remeron several times and not had any withdrawl effects either.
