And, no, I wasn’t fine on the 10 mgs… I was all blocked, couldn’t even swallow the food on the 10 mgs… My life wasn’t better even then and I was crazy in my head. So we try the 7,5 mgs of Zyprexa…
Is it a good dose too? I am mad to my loneliness tonight, so angry etc… But maybe this will pass too…
I think 10mg is the minimum target dose for schizophrenia.
From google:
Usual Adult Dose for Schizophrenia
Oral :
-Initial dose: 5 to 10 mg orally once a day
-Target dose: 10 mg orally once a day within the first several days; further dose adjustments, if needed, should occur at intervals of not less than 1 week in 5 mg increments/decrements.
-Maximum dose: 20 mg orally once a day
But I was on 10 mgs for one year, ever and I was even worse…you wont believe me, but its true… I am the person who took all the meds prescribed from the docs for ten years and they never relieved my body sensations…
I am stopping to eat on 10 mgs, I am so depressed then… anyway… I gave ten years to the psychiatry… its not working here like this for me… I also never got better on going outside…

Technically 10mg is the minimum for psychosis control but 7.5mg could be alright @Anna1.
You just have to try and see.
Ok, but what if the 10 mgs never moved me in my life? I was even worse on them… I could smoke 3 packs a day on them… Its not normal… and even some of my friends think, that I am not sz… I am strange even here… I have my body sensations and am currently bugging as I was bugging since kid… Bugging on the mi currently since my diagnosis…
I couldn’t move on the 10 mgs after it take for 4 hours, folks!!! Its too much… and it was just lifting my crazy ideas…
they don’t know anymore… I tried all the 11 aps on the market here…
anyway, maybe I am in a withdrawal now. I am med sensitive. I feel even the 2,5 mgs…
Your doctor may not know how to treat you?
no 151515
sorry, I saw too many docs, i am done with this. I told you, its been 11 years that they tried on me every possible med. 11 years that I was stuck in the same place as before my diagnosis… never a progress, not even an inch…
Yeah I’m med sensitive also
On doc told me, that I can be a borderline, not sz, but am not sure…

7.5mg worked to stop psychosis in me. Hope it does for you as well.
Did you have therapy? Or cbt?
Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I am sure there are psychotic people out there even on 7,5 mgs, you see @everhopeful? Am just a bit worried now from the lowering…
