Antipsychotics are a class of medication that is primarily used to treat symptoms of psychosis, like hearing and seeing things that other people do not, feeling paranoid, or having delusions.
Antipsychotics work by blocking dopamine in the brain, which helps reduce the frequency and severity of psychotic symptoms.
Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, manic and mixed episodes with bipolar disorder, depression with bipolar disorder, and depression. Olanzapine may also be used off-label, or outside of t's approved uses, to treat other conditions.
No, olanzapine is not a controlled substance, since it is not considered habit-forming and doesn't cause addiction. If you have any questions about the side effects of olanzapine, ask your provider about your concerns.
Yes, sleepiness and tiredness are common side effects of olanzapine. You may experience sleepiness when you first begin treatment with olanzapine. If you experience excessive sleepiness with olanzapine treatment, contact your provider so you may discuss ways for you to manage this side effect. Don't drive or operate machinery until you know how olanzapine affects you.
Yes, weight gain can be a side effect of olanzapine, as well as increased appetite. If you're concerned about weight gain with olanzapine treatment, talk with your provider. They can discuss the issue with you and find ways for you to manage a healthy weight.
How long it takes olanzapine to start working depends on several factors, including the form of the medication you're prescribed, your dosage, the severity of your condition, and how you respond to treatment with olanzapine. Injectable dosage forms of olanzapine (Zyprexa) work faster than oral forms taken by mouth. It may take a few weeks to months before you notice a distinct improvement in your symptoms. Your provider may also start you on a low dose and slowly increase it in order to see how you respond to olanzapine. Talk with your provider if you have questions about how long it may take the medication to start working for you.
Olanzapine is not approved to treat anxiety, and is typically not used to treat it due to the risk of serious side effects. However, if you have symptoms of anxiety along with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or depression, olanzapine may help. Talk with your provider if you have questions about olanzapine's effectiveness for anxiety disorders.
How long olanzapine stays in your system depends on the form of medication you're prescribed (oral or injection) as well as other factors, such as how well your liver and kidneys are working. The half-life of olanzapine ranges from 21 to 54 hours. This means it takes around one to three days for half the drug to leave your body. Your provider or pharmacist can give you more details about how long your dosage form of olanzapine may stay in your body.
