You need to tell that to your doctor. I was kind of happy to get that side effect because I didn't like to be on olanzapine. Before that they didn't want to change it because I had gone through a list of other antipsychotics and they caused side effects as well.

I am now on lurasidone and it seems to be the only one I can tolerate.

I tried other anti psychotics and completely lost my mind I'm frightened to switch my tablets do I have to change or can I just accept this as a part of the side effects or is it dangerous?
