Hi everyone,

I was for three months on 10mg of zyprexa and have been tapering down for a month and a half. 

First tapering from 10mg to 7.5 was hard for a few days : lots of depression.

Then from 7.5 to 5mg, 5mg to 2.5mg, 2.5 to 1,25: nothing, everything went smooth.

BUT last Friday I cut my 2.5 in quarter (so like 0.6) and since then I've been feeling really tired, unmotivated and depressed (of course can't sleep but I have sleeping pills).

**I don't understand how jumps from 7.5mg to 5mg did nothing but a mere 0.6mg is making me like this.**

I've been in the process of finding the right med combo for a year (tried more than 7 medications) and I'm extremely sensitive to medication so I haven't been able to work in almost a year or even have okay days. It has been hard. 

**Can just a tiny change of a few mg can cause depression in antipsychotic withdrawal? Can antipsychotic withdrawal cause depression? I mostly read about anxiety and insomnia but not a lot on depressive symptoms.**

Thank you!
