I'm having a bit of a dilemma about what to do with my medication. I am very stable right now apart from the odd voice and visual hallucination, but my mood it euthymic. I started working again back in July and it's all going well and I've settled in now.
But I'm struggling with my medication, or specifically Olanzapine. I can wake up fine on it but at times at work I've been spaced out, pale and drowsy which is noticeable to my manager and my staff. If I'm up and about I'm fine, but if I sit down for a length of time I find myself falling asleep.
I want to change my Olanzapine anyway because of weight gain and work has said that I should consider changing it, but I'm not sure if it's too soon after starting working again. I don't want to upset the apple cart too much.
What do you guys think?
