So I’m going off olanzapine. Starting to feel it now after sleeping about 2 hours for the last two nights. It’s not just the lack of sleep. Feels like there’s a riot in my brain.
The plan is for quetiapine to take over the sleep action. Dosed it at 25mg last two nights, but not satisfactory so far. Upping it to 50mg tonight and hoping for the best.
I’m getting slow witted, my brain hurts in spells, my eyes are irritated.
Coming off of Desvenleafax Succ/Pristiq was just awful. I felt awful.
@Headspark Has experience coming off Olanzapine.
I think I would have liked the tapering to take place in a hospital under supervision.
The problem I have with olanzapine is that I don’t get much sleep from 5mg and lower, so I can’t really taper down to low doses because I would get fatigued from too little sleep. Also I’m scared about taking two AP’s at once. I took 2.5mg olanzapine last night with 25mg quetiapine. But I’m pretty sure I can feel it’s not good for me with discomforts and spells of pain in the brain…
I’m thinking taking only 1.25mg olanzapine tonight with 50mg quetiapine.I am sensitive to a lot of things including meds. Scared about the interaction.
If you only took 5 mg originally of zyprexa you shouldn’t experience any problems. This is my opinion.
