I take 15mg now, and yes it deffinitly makes a difference in my mood. If I take 10 now I get irretable and angry. I was taking 10 mg with great benifit for the last 10 years. Since my 6 month trial on abilify, I've needed the higher doses of zyprexa to get my mood and everything else under control. I wish I never took abilify.
Yes I also take the higher dose for sleep. On 15mg now I sleep 9 hours. The abilify took away my sleep too. I would sleep 8-10 hours, depending on work or weekend, when I was on the 10mg dose.
False. and True. When I was on 10mg I gained a lot of weight. Then I went down to 5mg and didn't gain. Now I'm on 15mg and sustaining my weight. I lost some weight on 5 mg. My problem before the zyprexa was underweight and losing. So zyprexa was a good choise.
One realy good thing about zyprexa is the mood affect and psychosis reduction. I'm schitzo-affective. Which is half bi-polar and half schitzo. Or bi-polar with psychotic features.
