Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 This morning I finally decided I cannot stand the intense anxiety and my dysfunctionality any longer. This will be my third try to get off zyprexa that I was placed on last June, along with celexa, for a severe anxiety state I ahd worked myself into, after an injury. My first taper was from 7.5 mg to 0 in 9 weeks. I felt fine for the first four weeks, thenincreasingly awful until at three weeks off I couldn't stand it. My second was from 2.5 mg to 0 in 14 weeks. I felt really good for the first five weeks, that is until I reached about 1.25 mg. Anxiety began to set in but was stil manageable, until the taper was actually done in mid Jan. Then it began to get worse until once again I just can't stand it. I took 1.25 mg this morning to get things going, will do another 1.25 mg tonight, and then 1.25 mg every night until hopefully I stabilize. After that, I want to try the water titration I learned about here, and only make cuts of 5% at a time I would appreciate any comments on this plan. Has anyone ever started over three times? Is it hopeless? BTW, I am off the celexa over 9 weeks now. Tapered the two together this last time, also a bad idea. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
