Made me really restless. So restless I had to come off it because I was just awake for days at a time and it was interfering with my life. It was horrid.
By coming off olanzapine and going onto aripiprzol you may fine you have several weeks were you cannot sleep properly because one is a sedative med and the other is an activating med.
I personally wouldn't go on it again because the physical side effects were just too awful but it did work really well for my psychosis and got me mentally well enough to get discharged from my section so that's always a positive to keep in mind.
