Hi Jeroen!
>its dosage is twice a day and it has heavy sedation
You can take it as a single 25mg dose at night for the first week. Then you can increase to 25mg twice daily. When you're on a higher dose, you can take a small(ish) dose in the morning and a higher dose at night eg. if you were taking 400mg/day you could take 150mg in the morning and 250mg at night.
It's difficult to predict whether or not it will cause heavy sedation. It won't be as bad as when you took 400mg! Some people find that the sedation wears off over time.
>there is no weight gain reported on this medicine
It doesn't cause as much weight gain as Zyprexa, some people gain a bit of weight though.
Good luck, I'll be thinking of you :-)
