Has anyone here actually tried an antipsychotic?
I've had several patients ask me if I've tried this stuff I want to give them, and it always feels a bit awkward to have to say no.
I was thinking of trying a little olanzapine just to see what it feels like. I don't expect it to be pleasant.
Has anyone else tried this? If so, can you tell me how functional I would be, as a drug-naive 125-lb individual, on 2.5 mg Zyprexa? Obviously I wouldn't try to drive or anything, but is it going to make me totally somnolent for six hours?
