I decreased my zyprexa dose (20mg/day) in 2.5mg increments (headaches, insomnia were the big offenders) then waited until those symptoms subsided before decreasing again (usually about a week). Since that time I never remain on an AP (atypical or typical) for longer than my symptoms that warrent the med last. I just get too many side-effects, (EPS), and having bipolar disorder probably makes it more likely to happen. I wish your fiancee well- judy
