When is a new dose supposed to kick in? I'm still paranoid and very anxious. I can't go through days and days of this.

I'm actually in a similar situation. I started Zyprexa last week and have experienced no effects. My symptoms are still concerning. I'm only taking 2.5 mg. My pdoc said to give it a week to see if I tolerate it, but nothing is even happening. I read it could take months to have a full therapeutic effect, but I'm certainly not waiting that long. I would think any potential effects would occur within a couple weeks.

I am supposed to be titrating off! Now I have these symptoms so she increases the dose. I need these symptoms to go away!

I went from 10mg to 12.5mg I don't really feel a difference but I take the 2.5 in the morning and the rest at night. I really like this dosage very calming for me so hopefully will stay here for awhile. I hope you feel better soon moose. What dosage are you on and what is the highest dosage you have been at?

I started at 5mg and felt calmer during the day within 3 days. I went up to 10mg a week later and felt the difference the next day. I have been feeling agitated at times during the day so I started the 2.5mg in the morning which means less need for benzos.

Highest was 15. I was on 5 now at 7.5,. I want to be off this sooner than later though.
