Conflicted about Weaning off Zyprexa
My psych nurse practitioner said I could go up to 10 on Zyprexa if I wanted.  I do feel some better, but I'm conflicted because I know what the Zyprexa is doing to my liver and my metabolism.  (My liver tests just came back normal so I don't want them to be messed up again!)  I want to try tapering off again.  I have a feeling that the problem I had last time is that I didn't put the zyprexa in my pill box possibly.  I can't prove that, at this point, but it would explain the bad withdrawal symptoms.  If that's the case, I feel good about going ahead and trying to wean down again.  Right now, my pill box is set up with 10 mg pills, one each night for two weeks.  I don't even know if I have enough pills to support this weaning.  I do have some 5's I could use.  I'm conflicted.  Psych NP is supposed to call me at some point.  Not sure when.  I don't see her for several weeks yet.
