Feeling so fatigued....

Posted , 3 users are following.

I am weaning off olanzapine and taking half of the 2.50 dose. It's been not quite a week and it seems to be going ok except that I am so tired. I'm drinking coffee to get through the day. Will this get any better? I'm afraid to reduce the olanzapine even more. Has anyone felt this way? What have you done?

    HI After the gruelling/hell withdrawal symptoms I endured from Olanzepine I would count yourself lucky only feeling fatigued although that's not a nice feeling!

    It can take quite a long time for symptoms for totally dissipitate. What helped me was regularly going to the gym as that used to shift my sluggish energy and also I concentrated on very nutritional eating

    All the Best😊

      Thank you. Wish this withdrawal was easier. My schedule is disrupted by having out of town company as well. Will stick with the dosage I'm on until after they leave in a few weeks (or sooner, I hope).
