ive been on Zypreza 10 mg, lamictal,a 2x xaxax bars a effexor 40mg 1x a day and 20mg addys 2x a day.i recently tried coming over zyprexa, I Told my psuch i wanted to get off them and all she said was ok even though ive been on ir for 3 years. and i swear its harder then coming off of opiates. it can last up to 2 years i was almost to the point where i couldn't be even useful for anything. thank god i tried it while on vacation from work. i was wondering is there an antipsychotic (something easily to come off of, like seroquel anti-psychotic will it take over my zyprexa immediately and block the withdrawals? or eventually and then just have to deal with seroquels withdrawals? im stsble as hell metally wise and my doc knows it..but she had nothing to say. i told her i wanted to get off my zyprexa and the only thing she said was "mm ok" with no suggestions of tapering down or what to expect withdrawal would be this and that nit no nohing. ive read over about 150 peoples testimonies and about 3-4 came off f it. now im reading it causes diabetes and sometimes strokes. please help ive been researching all over the web/
