Zyprexa withdrawal

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

you asked me to let you know how things were

progressing. You advised that i continue taking zyprexa as i was

experienceing some problems--i have to be honest and say that ive

chosen to let it ride for a while because i have come so far and

really want to be rid of this drug and i dont want to go back.[i

feel bad about this decision after you so kindly gave me your advice-

sorry]

The effects i have been experiencing,in comparison to my

previous depressed state are realitivly endurable...so couldn't i

just weather the storm, so to speak and let the symptoms pass..or

will something more sinister develop. I have not changed the maximum

dose of sertraline. Im confused and scared witless that i will drop

back into the state i was in, over three years ago.

My cognitive/rationalising mind is still ok at the moment

[re-reading this perhaps shows some anxiety] so i guess things cant

be too bad. I live on my own so theres no one to tell me if im

reacting strangely,im reclusive by nature [i realise thats not

healthy and im working on it]

These drugs have been my savior and peace of mind for my

children but i feel ive lost so much of my life in a tranquillised

state of lost identity...i just want to be me,i know i cant turn

back the last 20 odd years...but nor can drugs.

Sorry for dripping on i know your'e not an agony aunt,

i just want to do the right thing for everyone...to be responsible

thanks and sorry again, Jeff potts
