Zyprexa (Olanzapine) is usually taken once a day in tablet form with direction from a prescriber. However, it’s incredibly important to consult with your provider for the recommended form, dosages, and frequency for you. This may change depending on your diagnosed mental health condition and complete treatment plan.

Side effects of Zyprexa are often mild, but can include dizziness, restlessness, weakness, dry mouth, weight gain, depression, constipation, and more. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience serious adverse effects seizures, vision changes, swelling, uncontrolled movements, irregular heartbeat, skin redness, hives, or difficulty breathing.

• Zyprexa is a second generation antipsychotic (SGA), also known as an atypical antipsychotic, that works in the brain to rebalance serotonin and dopamine levels. It can improve mood and thinking and decrease hallucinations in people with schizophrenia. Zyprexa is also used for maintenance treatment of bipolar I and to treat mixed or manic bipolar disorder episodes.

Zyprexa can be sometimes used off-label to treat anxiety, although it’s not approved to treat this condition. The medication works by affecting neurotransmitters like serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine, ultimately helping some people feel relaxed and calm over time. However, because it’s not yet an approved treatment, other medications for anxiety are generally attempted first. 

• Zyprexa, like some other antipsychotics, can be an effective mood stabilizer as it rebalances brain chemicals to improve mood, thinking, and behavior. 

Zyprexa doesn’t work immediately. It can take days to weeks for symptoms to begin improving. Once being taken regularly, though, effects can be seen within 6 hours of taking a dose. Zyprexa is long-lasting, and it should only be taken once per day.
