For Depression "Lexapro 10 mg and 2.5 olanzapine is good for MDD and generalized anxiety disorder. It takes away fear and panic. Weight loss stabilizes with long-term use, and tiredness becomes less of an issue."

For Depression "Good at what it's made to treat, but you gain weight even on 2.5. You may as well walk around stoned on anything higher as your eyes go glassy and you get very tired."

For Paranoid Disorder "I was prescribed olanzapine for paranoid thoughts. It did help but made me tired all the time. Chlorpromazine is much better on paranoid thoughts than olanzapine - I prefer chlorpromazine."
