I have been off and on Zyprexa for 3 years in conjunction with various anti depressants to
treat depression and anxiety.
My main dose was 10mg but I had taken up to 30 mg at one stage for a short period of time.
I am freaking out because today I read today that Olanzapine causes brain shrinkage
Have I irreversibly damaged my brain.
A lot of my depression is being fueled by my feeling of being dumb and no longer being myself.
My doctor says this is a result of the depression but I can't hate to think that the Zyprexa has
has a lot to do with it.
I just find things that I used to do easy I no longer can do and my personality has completely changed.
Do you think Zyprexa can cause cognitive decline?
Hi mate have you completely come off the olanzapine now?
Yes Jeremy I am completely off the Olanzqpine.
Sorry for the tardiness of my reply I did not see your reply. It did not show up in my inbox.
That's great. Best thing I ever did coming off that stuff
Jeremy have you had any cognitive deficits from it you think?

I think it's possible. You need to do exercise and stay fit while you are taking this drug. Are you exercising?
