A member asked:
If i go from 20 mg zyprexa to 15 mg zyprexa, will i experience any difference in sleeping? i want to still be able to sleep while being on the 15 mg dose. the 20 mg dose of zyprexa makes me sleep for 12 hours so it is very sedating at 20 mg?

It is best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist who knows your medical history for a thorough evaluation and recommendations for treatment. If you are not confident with your Doctor please see another for a 2nd opinion. Have a physical exam to rule out illness and see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple forms of psychotherapy .
