2.5mg olanzapine worries about weight gain

Have awful mental health history and a total breakdown due to PTSD this summer. I’m under home treatment team, but I keep being told by my psychiatrist that I’ve got “treatment resistant” issues and that nothing may work for me.

I’ve tried every antidepressant class - SSRI, SNRIs, MAOIs, TCAs and NaSSA (currently on SSRI Prozac 60mg), 15mg diazepam (which I’ve since stopped) and 7.5mg zopiclone (which I also need to taper soon)

Now they’re suggesting Olanzapine 2.5mg to take for the anxiety as it’s quite extreme (currently can’t function, derealisation, depersonalisation, paranoia)

I have previous history of ED and I’m so scared of weight gain 😣 has anyone been on 2.5mg before and what happen to your weight ?

Hey, im in a very similar situation. Wondering how you are getting on now.

Did the olanzapine help you? I have awful derealization too. It's hellish x
