Hi Camille:
>>> I mean in the begining I was feeling ok but after one or two days I started losing coordination in my fingers and then the mind numbing started, ... >>>
This is due to 'built-up' Zyprexa. It sounds like 'too much' in your system, in other word, adverse effect.>>> I still don't understand why he didn't start me on a smaller dose though.<<<<
My pdoc. did the same thing, ... didn't tell the smaller dosage, 'take 5 mg., if this does not help, then take *10 mg.* I did this course, ... but my depression got 'really' bad, then I realized this was to be caused by 'overmedicated' Zyprexa. Unfortunately, you need to find 'things' out by your own. In this regard, you're NOT only one.>>> Although its hard to tell if its the Effexor (going from 225 to 300) or the Zyprexa. I think its rather strange to change two things at the same time because its hard to tell what is the cause of improvements or problems.<<<
That's quite true, whether this is due to the increase of current med. Effexor, ... or Zyprexa?
If I were you, probably, I stick to the original Effexor dosage, then try the minimum dosage of Zyprexa, 1.25 mg. From there, I am able to figure out whether Zyprexa is for me or not, although this might take 'quite patience,' and some more.>>> My last pill was Thursday night so its my third day without it. <<<
Then, you may figure out whether without Zyprexa, your symptoms getting worse. If the symptoms getting worse after the third day, then try to take 1.25 mg. Zyprexa to see it work or not.
