Scary Zyprexa Scale Down!

Posted by DanielJ on July 15, 2004, at 11:04:01

My son has been on 20 mg Zyprexa for almost a yr. and over the last few weeks we scaled down the dosage to try to bring his weight down and ease his difficulty with swallowing (another side effect). He went to 15 mg with no noticeable change then to 10 mg where a few strange things appeared. At our latest pdoc visit he insisted on dropping it to 7.5 mg which I totally disagreed with. Today he told my wife "You can't tell me what to do". That was a phrase from 8 months ago.
Last night he went out to the porch and sat staring into space. That was a symptom from 10 months ago and there are others (obsessions, compulsions) duh! dx = schizophrenia. I think we need to go back to 15 mg Zyp. Advice?
