I suffer from a social phobias and an anxiety disorder.
Have you ever been prescribed antidepressants, and if so did they work?
The problem is when i cut down on zyprexa a get extremely anxious.
That may be partially withdrawal, but also probably partially a return of the underlying anxiety disorder and the stress of stopping the drug.
I've read that when one comes off drugs like this it can make even a person with a completely healthy brain have a psychotic episode in withdrawal.
It can happen, however, it usually only occurs with sudden discontinuation.
The doctors tell me very little about the drugs i'm on, how long i will be one them, the procedure for coming off them and what to expect.
Not sure what the laws are in Ireland, but in most countries doctors are required by law to explain all these things in detail when asked by the patient. How difficult is it to change doctors?
