I felt too dopey on 7.5 mg and was worried about getting in an accident when driving. So I told the psychiatrist about it and went from 7.5 mg to 5 mg. 2 weeks later I’ve gone from 236 pounds to 228. I also feel more energy and I am more in the moment. I’m driving better too. Life is good!

im going to lower mine too your thread has insprired me to do it, I take 15 mg zyprexa
I should also say I’m sleeping less too, I was sleeping about 14 hours on 7.5mg and now on 5 I’m sleeping 11-12 hours. My sexuality is better too, I can last about 5 minutes now whereas before it was about 2. Lots of good things happening.

if you can’t be on olanzapine at a realistic dose, find another medication and transition carefully with help
did you exercise to lose the 8 pounds?
