Thank u 4 the info! I saw my doctor and he said that since i had not taken it in 10 days that i need to start with a 1/2 pill then move back up to the whole 15mg. tablet. He also said that by stopping so quickly that it was taking my (normal) feelings and making them more intense! The feelings that would be coming from my Bi-polar/Manic depressive disorder! Wow let me tell ya, they were intense too! The feelings of withdraw went away 2 days after i started taking the Zyprexa again. Kind of scary really! I am in a methadone clinic in the first place because of a little ol'script of Oxy's that a doctor gave me. So any thing that has to do with addiction spooks me! Anyway, before i talk ur ear off, thanks again for the advice!-Mary B.
When can you get to a doctor next? Um i think the jury is out whether these types of medication are actually addictive or not, but if you can tapper off slowly you are less likely to get withdraws so can be easier managed other than other seriously additive substances. It is unfortunate that you had to stop cold turkey, and i would highly suggest seeing your doctor to make a decision to go back on it or not. Way up how helpful Zyprexa is V's bad side effects and that my help you making that decision. I don't you are crazy at all, just worried and that is a good thing as these are strong drugs, and if it effecting your life then it is good to speck up. :)
