Olanzapine: so i put weight on, say 2-3 stone & it doesnt look likely to come off any time soon. But i personally think it is an excerlent medication, because of it i can think clearly and am confident that if life were to take a sudden turn for the worst i would still have a solid grip. Been on zyprexa for about 3 years in that time ive only tryed abifily as an alternative, abifily had side effects like light headedness and generaly feeling yuck so i went back onto the olanzapine. What i want to say about it is, when i take my meds at night (10mg) its over till i have to take it again the next night, i seem to suffer no side effects and it just goes to work not even bothering me in the slightest. Guess that could make it easy for me to forget i have to take it, maybe not. Would like to hear your views on zyprexa?
