I suffer from OCD, social phobia, and some minor problems. My doctor prescribed
two 2.5 mg per day of Zyprexa. I fear, speaking with other people it is not the right treatment. Can it be harmful? Thank you. |

Trust your doctor. What works and doesn't work for other people doesn't mean it applies to you.

Hi Paolo,
As your doctor has wisely started you on a very mild dosage, you shouldn't need to worry. 5 mgs per day is a good amount to test your reaction and assess any side-effects (I am assuming your doc printed you a list), before considering moving up to a more regular daily dosage. I have used Zyprexa in the past, it is as far as I am aware no more dangerous than any other of those type of meds. I was on 20 mgs a day (2 x10mg tabs once a day). Like with any med, you will have to weigh the pros and cons: How much impact it has on improving your lifestyle and mood, versus whatever side-effects it causes. |
