Hi:
I recall VERY well you'd like to get 'Zyprexa' for a number of reasons, ... one of which you finally did pin-point and working VERY hard to get your 'old-self.' For that, I feel you have tremendously progressed emotionally and psychologically since you came to this board.However, one thing I need to suggest is that Zyprexa 10 mg. as a starter dosage is a REALLY 'mass dosage.' The 5 mg., even a tiniest pill, 2.5 mg. is enough for you to experiment whether the Zyprexa is actually for you. Because, the higher/mass dosage often causes 'depression,' due to sedating property the Zyprexa produces, that I got before hitting a right dosage, 5 mg./recommended dosage. More than 5 mg. is said to be for Shizo. or any other 'more' serious form of mental disorder.
In my suggestion, ... try to ask your pdoc. for a sample pack of the Zyprexa. Normally, he/she keeps those in his/her closet, from 5 mg. to 20 mg. Then, you're NOT able to get a tiniest pill, 2.5 mg., but you could cut one pill in a half by using a 'pill-cutter' found in any grocery stores(if you're in the US). From there, you can move up to the dosage you need.
You sound like one of 'smart' and 'nice' teenagers I see anywhere in the US, ... but because of your condition, you've been in 'tough' spot as reading your numerous posts on this board.
H.G.
