In reply to zyprexa to paxil, posted by markwell on August 12, 2009, at 14:30:17
I would just start the Paxil and continue with 5 mg for the first five days. Then you can go down to 2.5 mg and stay there for a week or so. If you are feeling pretty stable at the 2 week point you can try stopping Zyprexa. You could, and maybe should stretch this out longer and take Zyprexa for 3 or 4 weeks just to make sure you are close to getting what you need from Paxil.
Then again, I think there are some that have just quit zyprexa cold turkey without any major problems. I wouldn't do it though, especially if you are trying to keep yourself feeling as comfortable as possible through the transition.
