Hi Maxime,
>I take 25 mg to help me sleep every once in a while. I would take it every day because it helps my bipolar illness. Unfortunately I lactate on it. But it keeps me so stable and it has a long half life ... I wish I could use it as part of my cocktail.
Have you ever tried a lower dose? Some people can get away with taking as little as 10mg a day- on such a low dose you might not lactate. I think I once heard of an elderly person who did well on 5mg/day, not that you are elderly! Chlorpromazine comes in 10mg, 25mg and 50mg tablets- at least it does in the UK.
Best,
Ed.
