Well...I was told I could just stop it if I had problems. I did have problems. I lost my memory. I stopped it and within 3 days my neck and back muscles were causing me a lot of pain. Fricken docs. I decided to do a two week withdrawal from it. I was on 10mgs originally. I reduced it by 2.5mgs every 3 days until I was off it. This pretty much took care of the back and neck pain, along with some heavy doses of ibuprofen. I also suffered from some mild insomnia, but I have insomnia anyway, so there is no way to tell if the zyprexa was to blame or it was a re-emergence of the old insomnia.
Zyprexa did not do to me what I have read others on this board talk about as far as excessive sleep. Even at 10mgs at night I only slept for about 5-6 hrs.
