Feeling like I can't breathe

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am tapered down to 1.25mg and can't seem to get off this horrible drug. Every time I try to stop I feel like I can't breathe and nausea is horrific. Anyone else have similar withdrawals?

    When you say you feel like you can’t breath...  I’m wondering because my mom was on Zyprexa, they took her off when she’s was hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis. While on the hospital, she had a cardiac arrest. I suspect from the cold turkey withdrawal off Zyprexa.  Is that possible?

    Then they put her on Latuda.  Later, when I was weaning her off the latuda, she’s seemed to have no side effects, but shortly after, developed severe A-fib. So her breathing was really difficult and she was on oxygen for quite a while.  I know we’re talking about Zyprexa here, but could Latuda causeA-fib?
