Anyone on a very low dose of zyprexa?

Anyone on a very low dose of zyprexa?  How low? Do you have any side effects on this very low dose? Does it improve your symptoms?

Was on 2.5 as an agitation/anxiety adjunct. Made me semi sleepy without much effect- not worth it for me. Had Better luck at high dose but weight gain was awful

Yes it makes me sleepy

At a Low dose it’s valuable as a PRN for me, although I haven’t taken it in a long time. Side effects are a voracious appetite for several days after I take it and sleepiness. I can’t use it during the daytime.

I started on 2.5 mg several days ago. No munchies, no daytime sleepiness, mood really good, anxiety much less, more motivated and alive. Paranoid thoughts haven't really been tested yet, but I've not been on it long anyway. More info on my response in my thread.
