Hello Everybody,
I have been on 1.25 mg Zyprexa for roughly six weeks. I want to get off it completely. I was originally on 10 mg but have reduced to 1.25 mg. I could now reduce directly to zero OR I could go via the 0.625 mg route. This is very approximate as my pill cutter does not cut so fine. Instead of bumping along on 0.5 mg, 0.7 mg, etc might it be better to go straight to zero? Even the 1.25 mg is only approximate. I reckon I am bumping along 1.15 mg ... 1.35 mg there as well. How does the bumping along affect one? How important is it to have a consistent dose? At what point does bumping along do more harm than just cutting the dose to zero?
I would appreciate any advice, especially from those who have successfully come off Zyprexa.
Thanks
ronaldo
