Something puzzling happened today, and I wanted to see if any one has had this happen with their child. My T takes 10mg Zyprexa Zydis prn for aggitation.He can have up to 20 mg per day if needed. He has had about 1 dose a day for the past three days. This is pretty normal when his mood is elevated.
When he takes the Zyprexa, he usually goes asleep about an hour after he takes it. This morning he had a 10 mg dose and it did not phase him. I gave him another 5mg, and still nothing. I always check his mouth, and make him pull out his cheeks, so I can see that it is disolved, and it was. You guys know how strong a drug this is, and how high a dose that is...What the hell is going on?
he has taken this prn for years, he even took it on a routine basis at one point. Three days in a row is not enough that he could have built a tolerence...Is it the manic type state he is in?
Thanks,
Heather
