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.

Hi. It only comes in 25 mg here and sometimes I split the pill in half. I haven't tried using 12.5 mg on a daily basis to see if it helps. When I do take it I use Vitex (alt med) with it. I do retain a lot of water on it.

But I should do a trial of 12.5 a day. Although it has a half life of 30 hours ...

We shall see. Right now I don't feel like trying anything.

Thanks for the input. :)

Maxime
