> What dose of Zyprexa are you guys on?
This is a hard question to pose. It depends on what the drug is being treated for, how long someone has been on it, s/effects etc etc
I was started out at 2.5 mg when I first tried it a couple of years ago. I just restarted it and have found that now it takes at least 7.5 mg to do the trick. Is this a high dose?No- 7.5mg is a small dose. I have known patients to go as high a 60-80mg. I don't have my files with me describing the pharmacology, contraindications, blah blah blah....but 7.5mg is preety low- esp if it is being used for a psychotic disorer. If it is being used as an augmentative drug, i.e. for OCD, Anxiety D/o's etc etc, you are on a reasonably high dose. Not something to be extremely worried or anything!
