Zyprexa withdrawal...with apology (w/response)

[Guest guest]

<<Dear catherine,

a few weeks ago you so kindly gave me some advice

regards olanzapine reduction, i wasnt at the time too consistantly

rational and chose to come off this medication [against your advice]

too soon,you then advised me to resume the dosage which i declined.

It has been a bumpy ride but with the help of fish oil and b complex

supplements i do feel better,more clearer thought, slightly less

anxious and less tired. Iam still taking 200mg a day of zoloft but

recently ive been having constant dull headaches and more worryingly

ive been hearing voices {in my head, not outside of it,im not

schizophenic--thank god] this has happened late at night in bed. My

phyciatrist is not duly concerned and says that at least 10% of the

population experience this. He then went on to say if i felt ready i

could come off the zoloft by reducing the dose down to 150mg per

day. This seems a big drop all in one go, after the experience of

the last few weeks i dont want to mess up again.

I owe you an apology for not respecting your advice

previously but i would appreciate some more guidance as i have no

trust in my phyciatrist.Also is the fish oil/b

vitamins/zoloft/zyprexa withdrawal to blame for the headaches and

voices and will they just pass?

Once again sorry for doubting your advice when youv'e taken

time to give it

Thanks jeff>>

* , I'd wait for the voices to go away before beginning this next

reduction. This is called a rebound from the way you came off the

antipsychotic.

No apology necessary.

Regards,
