Olanzapine

[TheColdOne]

Does olanzapine work for sleep? I've tried zopiclone and it stopped working for me after a while, I'm on risperidone at the moment so could I take risperidone and only the olanzapine at night??

I would talk to your prescriber before rearranging the time of your meds.

I'm on olanzipine and take it in the evening and it helps with the voices which it was prescribe for but it helps with my sleep too :)

Olanzapine has never been sedating for me. I'm on 10mg.

No I wasn't sedated on olanzapine

I didn't find it sedating at all, in fact it gave me akathisia (agitation).

I was told it would be sedating, but it generally wasn't. i'm meant to be taking it now still but i refuse to as i was waking up several times in the night feeling really cold and shaking/shivering like crazy. since i've stopped myself taking it that has stopped completely.

My Psychiatrist put me on Olanzipine 2.5mg to try and help me sleep. At first, I felt quite sleepy but after a few weeks, it lost that affect.

I also found it made me feel really groggy the next day so decided to stop taking it.
