Zyprexa Withdrawal GI problems

Posted by John Short on November 18, 2010, at 15:44:39

I was taken off Zyprexa abruptly 9 months ago due to side effects (akathisia, EPS). Since then, I've had ongoing GI issues (heartburn, nausea, abdominal pain). Nothing my GI doc has given me has helped including PPIs 2-3 times/day, carafate, and levsin for spasms. I've had multiple tests and finally had my gall bladder removed. I called my former psychiatrist who told me that "my stomach would love Zyprexa" and it did while on it. She tells me that Zyprexa rewires the messages from my brain to my stomach to make less acid. When the drug was stopped, that benefit was lost and the effect is permanent. Has anyone heard of this effect and a possible solution? I'm currently existing on cream of rice and have lost 20 lbs.
