Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Olenzapine is a very good drug.
I would suggest you continue with that itself.
Why dont you try doing exercise and follow a proper diet plan for weight loss.
That will be better. And also, we cannot change any medications in such conditions without examining you in person.
Kindly consult a psychiatrist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
