The forum above is shutting down. There are more threads on Olanzapine withdrawal I will add to archive.org and save them here later.

I think this qualifies as a horror story

When I went to the hospital ER and complained of withdrawal syndrome they said thats impossible Zyprexa is "non addictive".

Have I gathered enough stories of other people getting the same sickness yet ? I am not done.

At least 5 cAn distinguiSh.

Hi all,

I've been on Zyprexa for about a year and a half at 15mg. I was put on Zyprexa to help with severe treatment resistant depression. I also take 150mg of Effexor and 300mg of Welbutrin. In the past year my depression has slowly gotten worse and I suspect it's the Zyprexa. About 3 months ago I decided to taper myself off Zyprexa. I went from 15mg to 7.5mg for 3 months. I experience moderate sleeping issues (I sleep between 4-8 hours and wake up about 10 times during the night), nausea and a dramatic increase in depression. My highs are lower and my downs are longer and more severe.

My two questions are this: 1) Has anyone experienced increased depression as a result of taking Zyprexa
2) Has anyone experienced an increase in depression as a result of Zyprexa withdrawal.

Any replies are greatly appreciated.

This sucks I was asleep at the switch. You posted this in October, its January.

Been busy with some horror from the DMV I wont even get into. I think Zyprexa is one of the only things worse in the world then those people.

My issue was always anxiety. Zyprexa caused me anhedonia lack of feeling anything some might call that depression but its different. Look up anhedonia see if it fits.
