I am having similar problems- tinnitus, noise sensitivity, and occasionaly dizziness- and I take 17.5 mg of Zyprexa.
I have been taking Zyprexa for 8 years, but the tinnitus has only occurred during the past year.
What should I do? Should I try to stop taking the Zyprexa and only stay on the 2 mg of valium which I take as well?
I tried reducing the Zyprexa dosage in 2002 and it was a disaster. But does this mean I have to stay on Zyprexa for life? Considering the tinnitus, noise sensitivity, and dizziness, is the Zyprexa really worth it? I am also suffering from daytime drowsiness, OCD, anxiety, and sleeping problems. I would love to be off the Zyprexa, but it is a risk since when I reduced the dosage in 2002-2003, my paranioa returned.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I plan on discussing this with my doctor as well as an ear specialist in the near future.
