If you took one last night also, you can call the national medication overdose hotline for info

I would think you will will be okay since only 5mg, and just get real tired. It would be like a dosage increase.

I agree with @heartfulhands. The max maintenance dose of olanzapine seems to be 20mg daily. You may feel more side effects today, but it is definitely not a big deal.

I recommend resuming olanzapine tonight or you might get a sleepless night. At least it’s not dangerous. Some people take 20mg daily or even more. Taking 10mg one day should be no problem.

i second this, if you skip the night dose after taking an accidental morning dose in my experience it destroyed my sleep schedule and i ended up only being awake at night and sleeping during daylight, which is a depressing sleep schedule to have
