I used to be on 20mg (and once on 25mg) Olanzapine and I didn't get many side-effects except sleeping very deeply, feeling hungry more often and feeling a bit dopey during the day. But it was ok.

I'm on 20mg Haloperidol and 5mg Olanzapine right now and all I can say is that if I don't take my Olanzapine, my sleep is very poor and I wake up 7 times a night. Basically, Olanzapine helps me get a good night's sleep, even if it is 10 hours long! But because I'm on a combination, I don't know which drug is causing which side-effects.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
