Hello Sebastian
If it was me I wouldn't have gone straight from 10 mg to 5 mg. Zyprexa make a 7.5 mg and I would have gone 10 mg - 7.5 mg - 5 mg. I think you would have hurt less if you had done it that way. I would have stopped on 7.5 mg for at least 2 weeks and another 2 weeks on 5 mg before reducing to 2.5 mg. I've tried the fast track method myself and I came unstuck - terrible rebound insomnia which persisted even though I was down to 0 mg Zyprexa for 3 weeks. Slow and gradual baby steps is the only painless way to do it.
