Seb, you're not doomed. Zyprexa is a relatively safe med, don't worry.
That said, I know how hard it is to get off it. 2.5 mg is good, 5 mg is better. Sometimes I'm tempted to take 10 mg. Now my doc says to take one half of a 2.5 (1.25 mg) and I can't sleep! I had to add some Seroquel to it last night in order to fall asleep.
My guess is that over time the brain re-adjusts itself to the new dosage and returns to normal functioning.
By the way, how many mg's of Zyprexa are you now taking?
