Olanzapine - restless legs syndrome

I started Olanzapine 7 days ago and yesterday’s night i got RLS for an hour, does it subside? Maybe I need to switch the dose in the morning?

I never had RLS on zyprexa and I’ve used it over a decade. I would try and see if it continues.

You mean akathisia? Yes for me it subsided. In the beginning of starting the med I had to walk around, couldn’t sit still. Now I feel normal.
