Hello, I have recently started taking Zyprexa. The initial reason was because I had some obsessional thinking. I never had any psychotic symptoms, just obsessional fears. Ever since I started taking 10mg of the drug, I have felt this weird sensation almost constantly. Basically it feels like I'm floating, disconnected from my body, zombielike. My movements feel unreal or robotlike. It gets worse when I'm anxious or in a tight situation(e.x. job interviews). I also have a horrendous appetite, and have already gained some weight. After doing some research, I found that this feeling could be depersonalization, but I also read that one of the treatments for this feeling IS Zyprexa. My question is, can Zyprexa cause this feeling? Does Zyprexa have withdrawl like other SSRI drugs? I really don't want to feel this way, and for the most part my doctor thinks its just in my head. It hasn't changed now for over 2 weeks. I know that the best way to stop a drug is with a doctor, but what if I don't have the doctor's support? If I stop it, what will happen? Will I have a psychotic reaction?
