Yes, the night after I stopped it, I had profound insomnia. The next day, my mood was terribly unstable, and I bounced between feeling suicidal and feeling ok. And yes, I was more anxious. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I have now had to start Li to try to smooth out my moods and feel more sane again.However, I was feeling pretty bad before I began my trial of Zyprexa...So I may just have had a rapid exaggerated return of symptoms. BUT I strongly suggest you taper this med slowly if you intend to stop it.
Good luck,
Chloe
