I've literally just started on Olanzapine, 5mg, I started around three days ago. I've not felt any side effects, but I looked at the common side effects on crazymeds and it says that the weight gain usually happens with high doses if you're on it long term.

But as with any medication, you can control the weight gain. It's not like you swallow the tablet and you suddenly gain five pounds. All it will do is increase your appetite, but you can manage that with a healthy diet.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
