Dear lybrate-user, amisulpride causes constipation as it decreases speed of intestines.
I do not know your condition for which you are taking. Amisulpride causes weight gain too.

I wish you all the best.

Hi lybrate-user,
olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication used in illnesses like psychosis or schizophrenia. It is used in dose range of 5 to 30 mg per day. So, 15 mg per day can be considered a moderate dose.
