> I think you should tell the doctor that the zyprexa is working and you would like a higher dose. The doctor was already moving you up in dose. So I can't see them having a problem with 10mg. Zyprexa is an excelent med, I've taken it for the last 11 years. The half life of zyprexa is 1-2 days. So taking it once a day should work, with the right dose. I take 10mg by the way, realy good dose.
Thank you everyone for your replies but I'm inclined to think that this was the answer I really wanted to hear, I'm just so confused as some instances doctors don't like for us patients to tell them their business and tend to do the opposite of what we ask especially seen as I have a history of alcohol addiction on top of this even though I'm sober close on 5 years with 1 slip a few months ago because of depression and uncontrollable anxiety issues.
I think I will come straight out and ask for the higher dose.
Also Bleauberry I do think this is the med for me as it really does seem to make me feel a lot better. Thank you for the time you've spent typing it but it's a little too advanced for me I'm afraid..
