Question : Hi again brother.

Hope you are doing very good.


Ok so i am still on 5 mg per day oral pill dose of Zyprexa. I have been on that dose for around 60 days now.

now i want to reduce my dose more. i want to reduce my dose safely.

i'm aware that you cannot support me legally since you already told me that.

but i still want your support.


do you give me psychiatrist-permission to reduce my dose by 2,5 mg ? from 5 mg dose of Zyprexa oral pill dose per day down to 2,5 mg per day.


(if reducing by 2,5 mg is not safe) do you give me psychiatrist-permission to reduce my dose by 1,25 mg, that is, from 5 mg Zyprexa oral pill dose per day down to 3,75 mg per day ?


(i'm aware that this is maybe not official medical psychiatrist-permission or something like that since you are in a different country and this is over a payment website.)


if you want to try to make me stop my dose reduction plan then it is ok that you try that but i strongly think that it wont work. :)

i very much need to lower my dose of this drug. it is very important.

please assist me to safely reduce my dose.

please answer my questions.

do you need any more information about me to give me those psychiatrist-permission's for my next dose reduction action ? if so then i want you to ask :)


Thank you so much friend.

I wish you a good day.
