In reply to is effexor making me crazy????, posted by birdy on February 22, 2002, at 2:21:07
> Am weaning from 225 to 37.5 (in steps) and can't sleep! After nine days of this, got put on 2.5 mm. (very low dose) of olanzapine - an anti-psychotic drug with potential horrid side effects! I feel like medication is making me crazy -- my shrink thinks I'm minor-leagie bipolar, which could very well be, but I'm afraid all this drug soup is going to do worse damage than my own depression. Opinions, please!

You seem to have been responding to an old post and sort of popped up in the middle of this one. I think I got that straighteded out, but I am not as seasoned at helping as some others might be. One possibility is sometimes a low dose or Prozac. Anyone else out there able to help? Also you don't say HOW gradually you are cutting from one dose to another? Maria
