    Olanzapine

    Went to see the Psychiatrist and told hime that at bed time I was taking a lorazepam to settle my anxiety but.... Lorazepam wore off too quickly.
    He has just given me Olanzapine 5mg.
    It's my first use of this drug.
    What can I expect. I was using the Lorazepam for my anxiety.
    Anyone else use Olanzapine?

    I did in the past. I gained a lot of weight on it, but other than that tolerated it quite well. It just wasn't the one that worked well for me so I got switched.

      Hello George that is a reasonable low dose, but it does have a long half life, so it will take 4-5 days for it to build to maximum in your system.

      Weight gain can be an issue as can increased blood sugar levels. I never took that low of dosage and, like AJ, it wasn't the med for me so I didn't take it for very long. Good Luck and Take Care. paul m
