I am wondering if anybody has done it for maintenance, and if so, were you able to avoid weight gain or next day sedation?

Are you sedated on the 2.5? That should go away fairly soon. Are you taking it at night? Zyprexa always made me gain weight. I'm on 15 now.

I have noticed that 5 mg or more makes me eat much more than normal, but at 2.5 I do not experience that. But I have sedation and feeling tired, which is why I am considering splitting it in half.

PS Is Zyprexa the best medicine for psychosis prevention?
