Yes both are highly sedative drugs. If they are causing over sleepiness there are alternatives which produce Same effect with lesser sleepiness. Consult any astute psychiatrist either in person or online and get remedy. Good luck

Hi.. both medicines can be sedating.. however if you require an antipsychotic due to your condition.. you need to take it.. you can discuss the same with your treating psychiatrist.

Paroxetine and olanzapine both are a little sedating
Kindly review back your doctor for change in meds if both together are causing too much sleepiness

Hello,
Olanzapine can cause sleepiness.
However after stopping it sleepiness should go.
