Olanzapine Loss of appetite

Completely lost my appetite on 5mg Olanzapine. Can go 24 hours without feeling hungry.

I’m still overweight though and struggling to lose it.

That’s odd. Olanzapine is known to increase appetite, I ate a lot when I was on it. I think it slows metabolism too so maybe that is why you can’t lose weight.

That is remarkable. Olanzapine and many other antipsychotic drugs tend to stimulate appetite, not suppress it!

Have you tried quetiapine?
