Zyprexa takes about 1 week to fully "build up" in
your body to a steady level at a given dose. So
missing 1 day will lower the level, but not drastically.
You could get back on the med without noticing much
of a hiccup in my opinion. Of coarse, everyone is
different and you may metabolize the med a little
different than the norm.
