> hi john. too bad adrafinil has to be imported. I will try really hard to get ritalin, adderall or others though. I HOPE that doctor prescribed them. the same doctor who almost killed me (passed out the accutane like candy).

I just wanted to comment that when I started Zyprexa it was at a dose of 2.5mg. I simply cut the 5mg pill in half with a knife. I think if I had taken a full 5mg I might not have stayed with it. It probably would have been too sedating for me and scared me off. 2.5mg was a much easier way to start. I adjusted in about a week, and then upped the dose to 5mg after I was accustomed to 2.5mg. So if you happen to find 5mg is too much for any reason, you can cut it in half.
John
