Olanzapine 'side effects'

Posted by Babak on December 5, 2007, at 10:10:34

I have been taking Olanzapine for the last three years. It worked wonders initially but most of its beneficial effects stopped within three months. Now it only helps me sleep better with fewer dreams.

However I am concerned about certain changes in my personality over the last three years.


I would be interested in any relevant information with regards to use of Olanzapine and other drugs of the same class. If any one knows of any article or web site discussing the issue I would be grateful for directions.

I heard some comments in a documentary on TV which has made me very concerned.

I suppose being antipsychotic they are supposed to cause personality changes. But are these changes reversible?

I feel emotionally removed and I don't seem to be able to reason with myself any longer. I have grown extremely lethargic and have lost all spontaneity and am somewhat less communicative.
Are there others out there who can relate to my comments?
