In reply to Re: MAOI withdrawal, anxiety, Xanax, PLEASE HELP, posted by mbailey on January 26, 2004, at 20:09:58
Oops, just re-read your original post. Zyprexa is not an MAOI. It is an atypical antipsychotic. I don't know much about it, but I did see that it can cause high blood sugar, such as the results you reported. In fact, 154 is also not normal, and would be classified as borderline. Normal blood sugars need to be within 80-120. I'm guessing he is going off of the zyprexa because of the elevated blood sugar?
Antipsychotics tend to also reduce anxiety. I'm just guessing here, but his increased anxiety could be due to coming off of the zyprexa. Has he mentioned the symptoms to the doc. who prescribed the zyprexa and/or the one who's taken him off of it if not the same?
Sorry I can't help more. You might re-post with Zyprexa included in the subject line to get responses from those who have taken Zyprexa.
Good luck,
