Hello David...
I take Zyprexa (have for over a year now). My dosage is as follows:
2.5MG in the morning, 2.5MG in the early afternoon, and 5MG before bed. This dosage works very well for me (when I started out on Zyprexa I was like a 'zombie', my dosage was way too high!!). For "me" being on Zyprexa has calming affects. I also take Alprazolam (Xanax) for panic/anxiety attacks (find the generic works just as well as the 'real deal')...the Alprazolam is, again-for "me", way more 'sedating' when I take it then the Zyprexa...the Zyprexa also helps me to NOT have to take as much of the Alprazolam as I used to take.
Good luck to you, let me know how this turns out for you...you may just need a bit of a higher dosage of it.....or it may start to work anytime for you now!
P.L.
> Hi, thanks for the replys. Xanax worked for me at first, but the effects were off. Hopefully the Zeprexa will work soon. I'm 22. Does anyone know the typical dose for it? What are some of the stuff you feel when you're on it? Thanks.
