[QUOTE="Josie, post: 403929, member: 1792"] I don't understand why the doctors would suggest tapering off the Zyprexa when she 1) doesn't have her phobia completely under control now and 2) will be going back to a more stressful environment. If this is going to be a life long condition brought on by anxiety, why would they say to take her off her anxiety medication? I get that Zyprexa is a heavy duty medication with some serious potential side effects, but not eating is a pretty serious already. When I think about side effects for medications, I think about what could happen and compare that with what is already happening without the medication. Even if the re-emerging phobia is due to anxiety over going home, that means her anxiety is not controlled well enough, in my opinion. This looks so much like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that I don't know why no one at either hospital has suggested CBT/ERP for her. [/QUOTE]
