    Olanzapine works wonders for me, and others from what I've been told, good luck with it and hope it helps! 💖

    That's great it works for you😀 I've heard the same but also it makes you sleep a lot. Someone told me they slept for 14 hours. Thankyou Bubbles!🥰 not sure what time to take it though because I have a blood test at 12 tomorrow so got to go for that so would rather sleep later tonight and wake up at 10 or 11 tomorrow.
