That's a really low dose of Zyprexa. I was on 25mg. Then again, I am a schizophrenic. I don't think you'll get as much effect on 2.5mg. But you shouldn't get side-effects either. I gained 30lbs on Zyprexa, and my friend's mom gained 30lbs in 4 weeks on it. Geodon is a newer antipsychotic that does not cause weight gain, maybe you should check it out!!! I'm on it right now and it works just as well.
