Bean has just been released from the hospital for the third time. She is dx with SZ and is 13 almost 14.

25mg thorazine in the morning
25mg in middle of the day
50mg thorazine in the evening

15mg zyprexa in the morning
15mg in the evening.

So does anyone know if this seems a little much for her age?

if you are worried get a second opinion from another doctor.

I recently seen a documentary on youtube about two girls ages 13 and 14 on heavy duty meds. The father said he took just half a pill of one of them and felt like he had to fall asleep on the spot! Yet his daughter the meds had hardly any effect just slowed her down a little she still was full of energy and went to the play ground etc, heavily medicated and the parents still had trouble keeping up with her. The children both had SZ. So I'm betting the pdoc knows what they are doing. If you observe any thing out of the ordinary let the pdock know asap.

In the beginning she was sleepy while adjusting to the thorazine but now she is back to talking our ear off while emailing friends.lol Yes, she has slowed down a little and the visuals and auditory are still there but dont seem to bother her like they did before.

I was just worried. I dont know.She has been on Zyprexa for a year with no problem except for weight gain.

Doctors just dont give the same explanations or answers as real people who take these meds do.

I am finding that I trust the ones who have been on these meds more than the doctors who prescribe them.

I know that for the higher the dose is for seroquel the less sleepy you get I don't know about other anti psychotics. But some others don't make you tired as much
