Olexa 10 MG Tablet Health Feed

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have read the information written. Please understand no doctor will prescribe a drug which has such serious side effects. Olanzepine is by and large a very safe drug. It is used for psychiatric conditions. So if prescribed needs to be taken. Plus it is very important to keep diabetes in good control. There is no mention about that. I hope her blood glucose levels are in good control. Thanks.

The pulse rate of 95 or 105 is not alarmingly high. In situations of intense fear or anxiety normal persons can also develop such pulse rates and palpitations. What this means is you need to consult your psychiatrist for the fear and anxiety.
Do not worry too much about the pulse rates, its unlikely that this is because of a problem in the heart, more likely its a symptom related to schizophrenia.

Oleanzpine is not for the sleep only. It is antipsychotic medicine. If you want management for sleep. Learn relaxation training and stress management.

Schizophrenia can be a very crippling disease, if treatment is tampered with by amateurs or by lay people. You must strictly follow doctor?s instructions. To me your son is seemingly doing well, and holding on to a job with major responsibility. If you push the expectation on him at this juncture, you may reverse all the benefits, inadvertently.

It appears that you are being treated for bipolar depression. Bipolar is of two types: bipolar 1 and 2. Bipolar 1 is sometimes plagued by psychotic behavior. So the medicines that you think are for schizophrenia are for the psychotic aspects of it. I strongly recommend that you go for counseling too.

Olanzapine is not safe to be given during lactation. You either change the medicine or shift the child to formulae feed. It will be good for child.

If you take medicines for the diseases you will not suffer serotonin syndrome .Antidepressants associated with serotonin syndrome include:
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Celexa and Zoloft.
serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as Effexor.
tricyclic antidepressants, such as nortriptyline and amitriptyline.

Dear lybrate-user,
I am not sure that you have followed up with your doctor recently. You seem to be on a low dose of Olanzapine. Probably you may need a mood stabiliser (if you are diagnosed as Schizoaffective Disorder) or an antidepressant in addition. Please consult your psychiatrist. You might get help to get out of depression like how you got out of occipital pain.
