It took me a while to get used to being off Zyprexa. I don't think I could have done it if I had not started lithium treatment.
Did you say you are taking about .6 mg or 6 mg?
I have a few recommendations for natural remedies if you are open to them:
Ginger Root-may calm the nausea and relax you a bit
Holy Basil(New Chapter's)-pretty powerful herb that calms/eases the mind-also may lower blood glucose and increase insulin secretion
Glycine-3 to 4 grams at night for sleep Low dose lithium-yes I consider this a natural option-you can get a good orotate form of lithium from Vitamin Research Products-if you try this, maybe 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg in the evening
Magnesium Taurinate-400 mg in the morning and 400 at night
Cordyceps-3 to 4 grams in the morning. Opens up lungs making it easier to breath. I find it to have an energizing and anxiety relieving effect
Good luck, withdrawal like the one you're experiencing is a complete nightmare. It may take some time for your brain to adjust. Hang in there!
