Having Dizziness, Nausea, Anxiety, Dystonia. Taking Zyprexa. Side-effects Of Medication?

I have been off Zyprexa for 6 weeks and I feel horrible. I m dizzy all the time, nauseous, anxious, tired. I was only on 2.5mg for 5 months and it caused bad dystonia (which has now disappeared). Could this medication have caused permanent neurological damage or CNS damage? After how long do withdrawal symptoms subside? Thanks

Hi,
Dystonia is the commonest side effect of Zyprxia which has disappeared after you have stopped
zyprexia. Feeling of horrible, dizzy, nausea, anxious, tired after stopping may be due to withdrawl smptoms. Now to treat you you need a Psychiatric opinion. Whether Zyprexia is absolutely indicated for you. He msay suggest some other medications which doesn't have this much of side effects.
Don't bother you are not having permanent Neurological or CNS damage. I assure you.
