I found the side effects worse when starting and increasing, I got the tremors, dry mouth and restlessness but fortunately these have now gone. I don't seem to get any long term side effects altho I do have vivid dreams but not sure if that is from the olanzapine or the venlafaxine I take as well? I take mine in split doses, 5mg in the morning and 5mg at night.
I have been following your story as I have had a BAD year. Currently on Zyprexa and Paxil and still kind of struggling. Did your Zyprexa increase work and did you stabilize? I am currently only taking 2.5mgs of Zyprexa at night.
