I stopped zyprexa 3-4 days ago and I have had no withdrawl issues. i will be seeing a new pdoc on Wednesday. Maybe I will try ECT again. I have been feeling completely horrible but today I am slightly better. I feel that is from getting up from bed earlier. I will continue to sleep less. Yesterday I was not feeling too horrible when I first woke up at 11am. Then I went to sleep again and woke up at 2pm... I was feeling quite worse.
