In reply to zyprexa dose, posted by JohnX on October 13, 2001, at 17:19:01
My pdoc trusts me with meds so he started me out with a suply of 2.5 mg Zyprexa and told me to experiment with dosage until I found one that suited me. After about a month or two of trials I landed on 7.5 mg taken at night. I probably could go back to 5 mg without a noticable difference in my treatment but I've been on the 7.5 so long we are just leaving it there.
I'm pretty sure that I've read here and elsewhere that the anti-psychotic doses start above 10 mg. I know one of the clients where I work who is autistic with psychosis takes 15 mg of Zyprexa once per day.
