I've been taking mirt and olanzapine on and off for a year fully on for 4 months I have gained 2 stone...my weight has been an issue my whole life looking back it shouldn't of been..but hey what can I do now...
I am really upset about it and so want to come off tablets bit scared about my anxiety and I won't ever get no sleep...
Has anyone else tried a tablet that's good for anxiety helps you sleep but can also lose weight on it xx

Hi
Don't want to sound like a goody two shoes,but I'm on Mirt and Olanzapine and have lost nearly two stone in the last few months.
I've done it by cutting out any proccesed food,and eating stacks of fresh fruit and veg,with some cereals and wholemeal bread,but in small quantities.
My life has improved so much on these meds that I'd do almost anything to stay on them,even giving up chocolate!
Best wishes :)

You want to feel good or you not want to put weight on but I hear you say the weight gain is not making me feel good and I say you can't have it all.
