Starting it 2.5mg for OCD tonight, just wondered if anyone’s been on it and what your experience was?

Hi I take 20mg a night I have been on this 8 years. It's a wonder drug if you ask me, it instantly works and if you take it same time every night like your supposed to you can actually feel it wearing of near your next dose causing symptoms to return. Then you take it and all is good again. It's bad for weight gain and it is going to make you drowsy expect a minimum of a month before your able to cope with the drowsiness and I would ask for some extra support with chores and things as you may struggle at first as it will make you sleepy, but you get used to it and for me it not only saved my life but enabled me to live a semi normal life and life a life I only dreamed of before olanzapine always here throughout your journey for any questions.
