Hey 
I got prescribed Olanzapine today for the first time, I've researched it on the internet but I wanted some people's personal experiences, I understand that it's different for everyone but I would be interested to hear what you all think of it. I am being started off on only 5mg but this is going to be renewed in 2 weeks. The pdoc says that it will help my lack of sleep straight away but won't stop the voices for a couple of weeks. This has to work as it's one step before hospital, if medication doesn't work then the pdoc says that I may need to be hospitilised and I don't really want that.
So, please could you share your experiences if you feel comfortable?
