Gonna start this new med tonight and wanted some community input. I know every med effects us differently, so I just have to try it and see for myself.
Any good stories would be appreciated. Maybe I’m just looking for hope that this will be the one.
I always get a good nights sleep because of it, in fact, even if places that I don’t know (I struggle to fall asleep in unknown places) I sleep like a log since
I’m on 20 mg of Zyprexa (Olanzapine) it helps me a ton by decreasing my paranoia. Only bad thing I can say about it is it’s made me gain a lot of weight.
trust me if you are prone to the weight gain side effect of olanzapine, no amount of trying to watch what you eat will stop the weight gain, not everyone gains weight on it but i gained 170 lbs in less than a year and it was torture trying to not stuff my face all day. sucks because it was the most effective med ive ever been on
