[QUOTE="MaryB, post: 283964, member: 390"] Hi, I was hoping someone has more info regarding Zyprexa. At the first of the year, we took difficult child from 7.5mg to 5mg (due to his psychiatrist's recommendation). psychiatrist understand that with difficult child being 18, he would be out of the system. Therefore, psychiatrist tried to help us in that he didn't feel that difficult child needed the zyprexa anymore. Stupid me...I didn't ask enough questions. We proceeded to go from 7.5 to 5 and then to 2.5 mg. I've took it very slow on the weaning. The Onc is at a lost as to what to do now. Due to insurance, difficult child's Onc is his main doctor for whatever. Figures, difficult child is the first patient he's ever had with any type of disorder(s). I've researched the web and I'm a little scared about the side affects of completely going off the zyprexa. I'm waiting on an email from difficult child's Onc to see what the next step is. difficult child is doing really really good but the side affects of completely being off zyprexa are scaring me to death!!! Has anyone dealt with this? Thanks, MaryB [/QUOTE]
