I started olanzapine a month ago. I’m now on 20 mg. I’m not sure it works well enough for me but I need to give it more time. It may take a while to reach its full potential for me.

Happened right at the start of treatment.

Ok. I haven’t had any symptoms yet
I take 22.5 mg of zyprexa. When I try to reduce it I get panic attacks. I am just going to keep taking the same amount.
I think 10mg is the minimum dose for schizophrenia. So hopefully you’ll start seeing some improvement from now on.

I’ve been taking ziprexa for 16 years. To me, it’s a good med. No weight gain but I do get tremors.

I take 2,5 mg. I don’t want to raise the dose
I take lybalvi which is zyprexa with an appetite suppressant, both 10 mg. I know how terrible the hunger can be. And the sleepiness was bad too. I took 20 mg for ten years. I no longer have side effects except I am able to fall asleep at night. I get up easily in the morning.
My psychiatrist raised my dose from 300 mg (once monthly depot injection) to 400 mg due to an increase of my anxiety and thought disturbances.
I don’t suffer much from any side effects, I had a minor weight gain, but that’s it.
Olanzapine is supposedly one of the most effective AP’s
I’ve been taking it since 2008 - eat, sleep take olanzapine!
