Ronaldo, I know exactly where you are coming from. Zyprexa has the absolute worst rebound insomnia, something which is very well documented on insomnia boards. Here is a suggestion: switch to 50 mg or so of the tricyclic Doxepin. In the past, I have quit 10 mg of Zyprexa cold turkey with almost no withdrawal if I replaced it with 100 mg of Doxepin. Stay on the Doxepin for a few weeks and then begin a slow taper...you may find the insomnia less severe. However, if you're still struggling, try switching again to Remeron and weaning off of that. This has worked for me. Of course, everyone is different and your mileage may vary.

Good luck,

Guy
