> No, that dosing schedule is not alright. You need to take at least 2.5 mg HS in order to keep blood levels up. I think the reason you feel so tired every day is simply a symptom of your other disorders, and will go away soon. People eventually get used to Zyprexa and its cousins Risperdal and Seroquel. BTW, I took 10 mg of Zyprexa for three months and never had any of the sedation or weight gain that others have experienced.
>Hello SalArmy4me.
I tried the zyprexa for the first time yesterday night. This morning, I was incapable of getting up! It's 6 pm now and I'm just beginning to feel relief from the heavy feeling I got all the day... I was feeling stoned, elsewhere (even more than usually). I have always been very careful with the meds I take, and today's experience was not a good point for zyprexa... I wonder why lilly doesn't make 1 mg pills... I really felt like I had taken tranquilizer for horses!!! My doc raised my dose of Neurontin so I will see what happens with that before going on with the zyp. Maybe seroquel would be more suitable for me, if I get no results with my manerix-neurontin mix, since seroquel is available at much lower dosage compared to zyprexa.
Bye,
Doo.
