Oliza can be mixed with food, better get olimelt which disperses easily, as far as epiford is concerned they are controlled release tablet and breaking them down and mixing with food can have some changes in efficacy and duration of action. All these are best decided by the treating psychiatrist. Good luck.

Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Oliza 2.5 mg tablet is a potent antipsychotic drug. The peak effect of olanzapine (which is the main constituent of oliza 2.5 mg tablet) can be observed after 5-8 hours of oral administration. Use of alcohol is not recommended while you are taking oliza 2.5 mg tablet.
You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

At the outset, my sincere thanks for being so concerned about your friend. From the available history, he has high support need, so he must be admitted to some mental hospital. He also needs injectible anti-psychotic at present as he is refusing oral drugs. One more problem with oliza (olanzapine) is that, if you crush the tablet, its efficacy is almost gone. So, oliza can not be the solution, instead there are other anti-psychotics that are colourless, odourless and tasteless liquid like water,...more

Hello,
Olanzipine is known to cause Parkinsons disease like symptoms. but the dose you are taking is minimal. the main thing is to reassess the need for antipsychotics and are they realyy required. Secondly you can try Pacitane

The medications are fine, but your hallucinations are not controlled. So you need a revision of prescription, consult your psychiatrist. He will be able to help u. If all 4 years the symptoms have not remitted, with adequate dosage, there are medications for resistant hallucinations. All the best.

Hi. Looking at symptoms. He may have substance induced psychosis. Which was maintained on medications .it is true risperidone nd olanzapine are 2 drugs of damw class. But they are required to prevent relapse of disease. Nd slownwss may be part of psychosis. Which are called as negative symptoms. I can give oliramp 5 mg ar night single dose one drug. Which need to be continued. Antipsychotics are not habit forming. Sleeping pills may have that potential. So I recommend olirsmp 5 mg. Thannk you.

Studies have looked at over 2500 babies born to women who took olanzapine during early pregnancy or throughout the pregnancy. These studies suggest that olanzapine use during pregnancy is unlikely to increase the chance of birth defects above the background risk.
Before planning pregnancy understand and accept higher risks to both mother and baby in view of age.
Also some reports, vaccinations and supplements are required prior to planning pregnancy.
