So far I’ve needed low doses if anti psychotics, for example 5 mg olanzapine.  

I was taking 5 mg abilify for my schizophrenia and was getting pretty bad nausea and was unable to tolerate any coffee, which effected my energy and mental clarity. 

But at 2.5 mg (taking it every second day), the nausea is lower,  maybe 0.5/10 rather than 2/10 and I’m able to tolerate coffee. So it seems like it may work as a drug for me at this dose.


My only question is, are doses this low effective at combatting schizophrenia or am I going to get psychosis soon? Am I playing with fire by going this low?

My only other option is a lower dose of haloperidol, or going back to olanzapine. Olanzapine worked well but gave me weight problems, I’d gain 20 lb per year no matter what and that is just not good.
