> Well this time around has been different than any other- Flu-like symptoms, fatigue, headache, leg sweating, extreme anxiety(experienced that briefly the last time I got off it), feeling of loneliness, feelings of fear, some agitation, feeling disconnected, out of focus. I'm sure there is more. The thing is, I have experienced some of these while on Zyprexa. Which makes me wonder if something else is going on(other than me being bipolar) and Zyprexa is helping to manage the symptoms.
It sounds similar to SSRI withdrawal.How do you respond to nortriptyline or mirtazapine? I'm just wondering if you might be sensitive to fluctuations in 5-HT2a receptor binding.
