In reply to Lexapro,Zyprexa, Depakote hell. Please help!, posted by MCP on May 22, 2004, at 3:13:27
I will verify that withdraws from zyprexa are hell. And no I have not found a way to do it. I also took depakote while on zyprexa. I stoped the depakote no problem. Then I tried the zyprexa, had a problem. There must be something about that kind of medicine. Your body gets use to the effects, anti-anxiety, makes sleep posible. I've lowerd my dose of zyprexa recently, hopfuly It will get lower and lower. A lot of people have similar problems. Seems to be one drug or anouther, not none. They are not addictive. Your body needs it or gets use to it, . Getting off any drug is hard, just like pot. When you stop the medicine the chemical balance in your head changes and this make you uneasy. Wish I was not so dependant on the stuff. I take zyprexa for 5 years now. I started on 15 mg, now I take 7.5 effectivly. So some day maybe I won't need it.
Good luck!
