One more thing I wanted to add..
Years ago I was in a really nasty mixed episode and most AP's dont play nice with my Anorexia. My Pdoc brought up Haldol , Its old school but well studied and weight neutral ..
I decided to give it a whirl .. it pulled me right out of that nasty mixed , I didn't crash into a depression. I did need to add Cogentin due to some akathesia issues.. After 3-4 weeks I cut back to every other day, and then on to every 3 days.. It worked fine. I no longer had any issues with akathesia issues with the dose being every 3 days. I took it for about 6-7 months I guess.
Alot of people dont consier the half life of meds and more so alot of pdocs dont want to take the time to look into non traditional prescribing. I know I am lucky that I have a Pdoc that is willing to help find workable solutions for people like me.
Zyprexa has a half life of 21-54 hours depending how your body processes it.
I hope you find somethng that will work or you
