my boy is being made to take zyprexa 10mg tabs / 5 a day. He is under a court order that forces him to take but it makes him tired so he is not taking it regularly now, sometimes 2 a day sometimes none. he was in jail / hospital for 6 months until a week ago and that is when they diagnosed schizophrenia . i hate to see him when he is on it as he appears fine when not taking it for the past week or so, but i am afraid what might happen coming off a high dose and all

does your buy have a psychiatrist? Is it possible to either adjust the dose (which seems very high) or to switch to another medication?
