Definitely you can start gym and exercise, Rather I'll encourage you to hit the gym because your medications may increase your apetite and cause weight gain. Don't stop your medication, discuss with your psychiatrist about long term management.

Please tell your doctor of the same. They may consider switching to a different medication that causes less drowsiness.
Another thing to consider is to try and take your olanex earlier in the evening and going to bed early.
Going to gym or exercising is a great idea and best done building your own pace gradually. Having a regular routine and a balanced diet are also important tips towards long term recovery and maintaining wellness physically and emotionally.
