> Most people stop taking you seriously if you mention something that the FDA or any other authorities don't agree with. Ive learned my lesson to not bring up some of the most severe effects ive exprienced from psychiatric meds when talking to a psychiatrist. I have a friend who went to a short term inpatient facility, and was prescribed Prozac there. It was his first antidepressant, and when he let the Psychiatrist know that it was causing him to see things, she literally laughed it off and told him Prozac can't cause such an effect. Yet this side effect is listed on the list of side effects for Prozac.

>What I think is the withdraw syndrome, is, you need the med now to live life as you are on the med. In other words, I could not eat or sleep at all before taking zyprexa the first time. When i stop the zyprexa the same thing happens all over again. My brain starts thinking like it was before the zyprexa. All my symptoms come back.
Your not addicted, because you don't try to take more and more. You might be mentaly addicted because you need it to function. I've stoped zyprexa for months at a time just to realize I'm not getting better and decide I should go back on it. Not because I'm craving the drug.
I feel great some times when I go off zyprexa. Other times I feel like uter crap. Its not something I want to take. I'm just dependant on it. Everything falls apart when I don't take it. The way my life was before taking it.
I guess the withdraw is, not feeling right.
