I am being taken off seroquel (quetiapine) it makes me tired during the day put on 5mg zyprexa was told doesn't do that thats too low what are doses for it?

5-30 mg per day: It really depends upon what your underlying condition is. The dosage ranges generally from 5 to 30 mg a day. A lot will depend upon how much sedation you need to get adequate sleep for your psychiatric condition. Please be aware that if you gain weight within the first two weeks of treatment that the weight gain is likely to continue and therefore the medication will need to stop as directed by your psychiatrist. You also need to be tested for diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, increase in abdominal girth, andtardiva dyskinesia as well as akathisia.Ask your psychiatrist about these side effects. Best wishes..
