Hi,
I started out on Zyprexa 20 mg 8 years ago. After 6 months, I very gradually reduced it to 2.5 mg and my paranioa and anxiety returned. I then gradually increased back up to 17.5 mg, but my sleep quality, paranioa, and anxiety has never improved to the level I was at when I first was taking 20 mg.
Anyone have any experience like this of nearly stopping zyprexa and then resuming a high dosage without the same original benefit?
thanks
Bob

Add 500mg - 1gram of vitamine C. It has been shown to augment the clinical effects of antipsychotics and lower the effective dose needed.
