Hi,

I take Zyprexa (7.5mg), Seroquel (200mg) and Paxil (40mg) for my anxiety and insomnia.

I wanted stop Zyprexa as I was concerned about my weight and diabetes. I carefully tapered the medicine and finally stopped it on September 25.

Though it has been almost a month since I stopped it, I am still experiencing dizziness, sleep disturbances, and mild to moderate anxiety.

I don't know if these are withdrawal symptoms or signs that tell me that I need this medication.

What should I do? Should I wait for few more days/weeks to see if these symptoms go away or should I start taking Zyprexa again?

    The best thing would be to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.. they have enough experience and knowledge to guide you on this matter. Hope you feel better soon
