Greg,

I was on Zyprexa (Olanzapine) for two years at 25mg daily. It never made me tired r sedated me like it was supposed to. I was on a higher dose than they should have been prescribing. You are supposed to be on 20mg max, but I was so bad they had to up the dose.

It is also supposed to increase your appetite, but yet again I found it didn't do that either. Each person is different and I really hope you get the beneficial effects you desire.

Hi Greg I was on olazapine for two years and found it very beneficial, I can't remember how long it took to take effect but when it did it was very good took all anxiety away, so I hope after a few days and when your body adjusts you get a good effect from it. :)
