> Hi Rose. Im still taking 2.5 mg Zyprexa each night. This, along with .25 mg lorazapam lets me sleep. In addition, Im not feeling depressed like I was just on Nardil. Zyprexa was fairly easy for me to get off of, except for crazy insomnia. And around that time I was experiencing all over itching. Could be Zyprexa w/d? Not sure. It went away on its own.

Yes i have tried nardil, and it lasted 22 ish years until it just stopped working. i did get hypomanic on it though, and remained that way most of the time.I did tell the psych about it but his view at that time , was that it was purer to remain on just one med (This was the uk in 1992) And I put on so much weight and had so many side effects - I far preferred parnate which had fewer side effects. Parnate stopped working after I reduced it 4 or 5 years ago and would not work when I increased the dose. By by adding 2.5 mg olanzapine it worked again...just as in your case with nardil. studpidly I thought that it no longer needed the olanzapine,and started reducing it , which was my big mistake as the whole thing then stopped working .
It may be useful to know that you need to keep taking the olanzapine, or you may react differently. I do find it impossible to come off the olanzapine,or to come off parnate or lamotrigine, all of which I am still taking. Others seem to do it much more easily.rose45
