A member asked:
My son was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia. his dosage is 30 milligrams of zyprexa. i think he is tapering down. he is grimacing and talking to himself again. can it return when not taking it. what are the signs of not taking the right dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not uncommon for these patients to skip or hide their doses. If their tissue level of the meds decline symptoms they aid are likely to return. I would discuss your concerns with his treatment team.
