I feel completely stable on 5mg Olanzapine at the moment. But definitely need to work on my health and life in general.
It was you who inspired me to take the chance and reduce to 5mg.
When my life is more settled I’ll see if 3.75 works for me and will go back up if I have any problems.
Ultimately all I can do is carry on and hope for the best.
Am very tired in the mornings though.
Yeah, that is a common side effect of olanzapine, and most other AP’s I guess. I am lucky to have a job that doesen’t start before 11am. I can’t work before 9am, too drowsy.
Starting at 7am lately… feeling woke up now though lol
That’s heavy. If you have a nice boss I would let them know that you are taking medicine that makes you drowsy in the morning if you haven’t already. It might be good for them to know what’s going on.
I’ve been passed by the occupational health to work with machinery etc. It’s more the first 30 minutes of the day until I’m up and out of the house.
So difficult to actually get out of bed
Yeah me too today, even though I didn’t get up before nine. I felt awful this morning, but luckily it gets better as the day goes along.
Yeah definitely… find I need more hours sleep then I used to. Before I was Ill I used to get by on six hours now need nine or ten.
Yeah, same here. Sleep has become a big priority.
