I started taking olanzapine (5mg) 2 days ago. I am also taking 25mg paroxetine (Paxil). I have been taking this for over 10 years. My situation is strange. It is to treat some kind of anxiety/depression. (It's like I've developed some kind of social anxiety around my wife or something). Anyway - it's only day 2, but I feel completely wiped out - tired/groggy/spaced out. If these symptoms persist, I will have to get off the drug as I'm unable to properly function. So - I guess I just want to hear from the personal experience of others. How long did these symptoms last for you? Did they ever go away?I know it depends on the individual - and probably for some people they only experienced this mildly at the beginning - but for others - probably they will have had to discontinue olanzapine because they couldn't function on it. Like I say - just trying to get a sense of what the average reaction is?
Olanzapine - Olanza - tired/groggy/spaced out?
