> You need a higher dose. 10mg! At five mg I don't sleep well. I take 15 mg now and sleep 10 hours a night.
My p/doc said try 5mg for 7-10 days and increase to 10mg if I'm still bouncing up and down. This is day 3 and I have already noticed a change in my overall mood. Things seem to be much calmer, not in a sedating way, just better?
I'm not sure if I should increase to 10mg just for the sleep as it may hinder my current benefit?
I think I'll wait another week and see how things go. What do you think Zyprexa? Does 10mg make a big difference for you as far as your mood, or do you just take the higher dose for sleep?
I've also heard that the weight gain is not dose related in that 5mg will cause no more, or less gain as would taking 10mg? True or false?
Thanks, Rick
