In reply to Risperdal withdrawal how long will it take?, posted by 4wd on November 6, 2005, at 22:05:48
Yeah, your experience is what worries me about trying to get off of zyprexa...after 5 years, not just 10 days. Yikes. My doc wants me to switch over to seroquel, but ya know, I honestly don't know if I can do that. These antipsychotics, even in miniscule doses, are very powerful drugs, at least in my opinion. My doc says "but 2.5mg zyprexa is not even a therapeutic dose, you should be able to wash out of it in a week"...yeah right!
Actually, I bet the scaredness and anxiety and depression you are feeling will last about 2 to 4 days. 10 days was enough to start causing some changes in brain receptors, but they were just getting started, no big changes done yet.
