Recently I tried Olanzapine for night time dosage and I couldn’t sleep and had bizarre dreams and sleep hallucinations. Has anyone have adverse side effects on Olanzapine before and what side effects?
Im on Olanzapine and it helps me sleep. Im on a low dose of 5 mg. Ive tried going below 5 mg and I can’t sleep + increased anxiety.

I’m on 20mg of olanzapine and never had any night terrors.
It doesn’t help me fall asleep though. I still struggle falling asleep.

Other than leaving me dumb, drooling, and fat, it was fine. Why do you ask?

My parents want me to take Olanzapine because it was suggested by a doctor friend. Unfortunately I had adverse side effects but they still want me to take it.

I got switched to Cobenfy because I can no longer use dopamine agonists. It has been a bit of a ride and I’m not enjoying it.

Ok, cool. I’m happy it works for you, being a new med and all. It’s not available in my country yet. I want to quit taking olanzapine. It makes me lazy as fu-ck. I’ll see what the doctor says.
I was DXed with Parkinson’s. Now take Levodopa for it which cranks dopamine. My positive symptoms are elevated as a result and I’m using every trick and tool in my bag to try and cope and hang onto my insight.

Was it due to meds? Or do you have parkinson’s?
My right arm has been twitching for three days. I’m scared of developing TD. I just hope not. That sh-it can be irreversible.
Definitely Parkinson’s. Micrographia.

I’m sorry about that. Levedopa is a heavy drug to be on. It actually elevates growth hormones in the brain, dopamine aside. So if you exercise you should build on more muscle. If you can work out that is?
Watch out you won’t get addicted to porn or gambling. Or buying crap online. Those are some of the side- effects of levedopa.
Nope.
