Loxapine update 1

Medications
1

I started loxapine last night and took it again in the morning and just now. I’m not noticing any changes. But I’m on the lowest dose - 10mg at night and 10mg in the morning. I’m allowed to see my pdoc in 2 weeks she said if need be. On a good note, it has a side effect of lowering blood pressure, and mine has gone down 10 points. I’m happy about that. I went from averaging 167/115 to 158/100 so at least it’s going in the right direction.

Just remember that it takes a good while for these meds to get in the body and work. You start off small for a couple weeks and gradually increase your dose til you find the correct therapeutic dose.
