> I wanted to second Phillipa's warning about weight gain and diabetes. From what I know, psychiatrists usually don't ask patients on Zyprexa or the other antipsychotics to expect weight gain, or to monitor fasting blood sugars and insulin resistance - but they should. It can be such a helpful drug, but I would be worried, myself, about taking as much as 30 mg. The lowest dose that you can take would be best for the long-term.
Your right, over the last 3 weeks I've gone back to only 10 mg a day, with ocassional extra 10 mg pill.
