I have a mostly positive relationship with my low dose of olanzapine. It keeps my paranoia at bay, has even helped a bit with voices and perhaps most importantly it doesn’t affect my motivation too much.

I have however gained 40lbs but I’m slowly managing to lose. That’s the only downside. Albeit a big one. Oh and I have high cholesterol.

I have found I have less urges to eat sugary food now like I did at first.

The strange thing is when I was first on olanzapine many years ago up to 20mg for a few months I didn’t gain any weight.

I guess it all varies for each person and even then over time individually.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
