I am in such a trap.
I still function in day to day life. I run a small company which is succsesful.
I can't afford to take a day of work let alone 5+ weeks to get off this posion.
My doctors are no help at all, they refuse to believe it is withdrawal and say it is my original symptoms returning.
I don't remember being nausiated to the point of throwing up consistantly through out the day, sick with the flu, hard to breath, panic attacks, of the scale anxiety, diahrea, and fainting before I was on it.
If I go through Zyprexa withdrawal I will lose the company that I have built up over the years.
So I either stay on Zyprexa or lose my livelihood.
And If I stay on Zyprexa, I have read in alot of places that withdrawals get worse the longer you are on it. And it is already at the point where I really am struggling with the belief that I could actually do it so if it gets any worse hospitalization would be needed.
I am currently stable on about .6mg but anytime I go below that, even a minute amount is pretty much CT.
So what do I do? I really cant see a way out of this. Live in misery or lose everything I have which is really just a new form of misery.
And they are putting kids on this stuff.
