  1. Hello, everyone. I have been reading everything I can on Zyprexa tapering, withdrawal etc. Our story is different. My husband was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disorder originally known as olivopontocerebellum atrophy. It is now known as Multiple systems Atrophy. This disease is progressive and fatal. no known cure. He is losing all ability to walk , talk and eventually swallowing. He had an injection of a steroid for hip pain that caused him to have a severe psychotic episode that didn't resolve for over 2 weeks. desperate for relief he was put on seroqual for short time and it made it worse. Started on Zyprexa 5 mg and the psychosis finally stopped. Having to deal with so many other issues related to his disease he remained on Zyprexa for 10 years. He hated the feeling of lack of motivation and zombie like side effects and so he went to 2.5 several times nd it made it worse. Finally, I found this site and we are into the 8 th day of weaning. He is at 4.4 dry cut because I am in the process of getting MD, Pharmacy etc to obtain a better method and more specific precise dosage. Today has been his worse day. My question and I am sure it would be difficult for anyone to answer but with already having the inability to walk etc. How the hell do we get off this med. Is it worth it if you have only a few good years left. How do I support him with this when So many say it takes forever to stop and feel good. Thanks for letting me vent. Sincerely, Lynn
