> Huxley I'm impressed you have cut way down and not just on one med but several your dx is or was bipolar as you wrote BP and that could stand also for borderline personality just making sure. What about anxiety gone? What about sleep? Phillipa
Hey Phillipa,
BP = Bipolar which I never was. This is a clear case of a doctor diagnosing me with a mental illness based on the side effects of another medication.
Keep in mind that I was already well down on my meds when I first popped up on here so have actually been going pretty slowly with the zyprexa.The Lactimal has been easy.
Pristiq gives me grief but I find that Zyprexa pretty much eliminates SSRI withdrawal (still get the emotional turmoil) so I have done a big jump down to 25mg and am just letting that settle for a month or two.Zyprexa is looking like the hardest to kick. Even tiny tiny dose drops throws me out for a day or two.
Wish someone had of told me about Neuroleptic withdrawal and possible tardive psychosis before I started taking it.
