Side effects is that I see flicker in my field of view and have hand tremor. And also I see black squares in the field of view when blinking my eyes. I'm on my 10 month now on Olanzapine. I slept before in 12 hours, now I sleep in 10 hours, still pretty much. But the best thing is that I do not gain weight on Olanzapine, and actually even have lose weight on it.

AGGRESSION AND SLEEP GREATLY REDUCED | MAKE SURE YOUR SCHIZOPHRENIC SYMPTOMS ARENT TARGETED INDIVIDUAL SYMPTOMS | F | 25 | 2 years 10MG | 8/18/2016 | 3 | bipolar 1 | weight gain (7 kg over 6 months) drowsiness | i was manic and psychotic the first two months on zyprexa (I took zydis) and after two months I was stable, coherent, and normal again and I understood how weird my thought processes were before. So I suppose the drug works to normalize me. Doctor wanted me to continue on medication as preventive measure for future possible psychotic episode but I noticed steady weight gain (1-2 kg per month) since January, and even 3 kg on the sixth month. In total had gained 7 kg. I stopped the drug one month and one week now, and I stopped gaining weight, though I don't lose it, despite cutting down calories and exercising 5 times a week. I recommended it for manic and psychotic treatment, however the weight gain is too much to handle. | F | 25 | 6 months 5 mg 1X day | 7/13/2016 |
