Max dose of Zyprexa

Posted by rjlockhart04-08 on July 1, 2010, at 19:32:46

does anyone know what the max is? like 80mg in a severe case of mental illness for someone who was resitant to antipsychotics.
I've taken 25mg and I wished I could of stayed on that dose but it felt like a bunch of bricks where on my eyelids I couldnt stay awake, or function but I know Zyprexa is a potent nueroleptic. The only thing that makes me scared is it can start diebeities [misspelled].
I went up to 30mg one time and i started twitching really bad, i couldnt eat with out dropping the fork because I was so shakey, but that was only one time. I almost started some thing called Cogentin but never did. which was suppost to block the twiches it gives [zyprexa]
What do I tell my doctor if I want to move back up to 20mg, which I was on and it worked but the danm drug makes me sleepy that's the only thing. It's great with mood, zones out alot of negative thoughts.
anyone?
