prexa is a psychotic med and it will change the dopamine and serotonin and brain chemical.
Will zyprexa deceit with its sedating effect and slowly mess up the sleep pattern so people can not sleep without it?Withdrawal from zyprexa is very terrible. Nightmare, fatigue, sickness, aggitation, irritation... like dying a slow death and most terrible, chronic INSOMNIA. A lot of these symptoms might be caused by insomnia itself. But it's the zyprexa that causes insomnia when discontinued.
Stopping zyprexa causes chronic insomnia. I would pay a million $, if I did have, not to take it in the first place. It was the biggest mistake in my life to take zyprexa. I could have been fine and healthy before zyprexa.
If you stop it, try tapering it off slowly and it might be for months and watch out for insomnia.
It's not addictive but that does not mean that it's easy to get off it since it has terrible withdrawal syndromes.Please note that different people react differently to med. You might be OK when you stop it. Who knows you might be lucky, but not me.
