Dear client
Olanzapine is a very good choice to gain
appetite ,weight and to improve mood.
Talk about it to your treating psychiatrist. He or she knows better as you are personally interacting with them.

Hello,
Mirtazapine and Olanzapine are good for weight and sleep. If it has shown response previously it's advisable to continue the same medication. If the symptoms are still there the dosage can be increased to maximum tolerable dose. 15mg is the minimal dose of mirtazapine been prescribed.
Next Steps
Consult your psychiatrist or you can consult me.
