I'm not sure how or if zyprexa affects serotonin but it does impact dopamine.I'm very scared of trying any meds that affects the serotonin levels, but I'm not sure if this one does. Anyone knows? I took a pill last night and got a very stiff neck along with some pain.

@Blossom No problem.
@nostalgic Could you give a list of your symptoms and why you were prescribed olanzapine?
Your psychiatrist must have diagnosed you as bipolar. They usually don't prescribe olanzapine as a first-line treatment for depression.I've been feeling depressed lately so I wanted to try something.
My symptoms are a very stiff neck along with some stabbing pain. Those are the only symptoms so far, but they're really annoying.
I talked to my doctor and she thinks it's anxiety causing the stiff neck and pain but I'm not so sure about that, since I don't feel anxious, but maybe it could be subconsciously. I want to rule out the other possible factors first though.Your psychiatrist must have diagnosed you as bipolar. They usually don't prescribe olanzapine as a first-line treatment for depression.
Estrogen can cause both neck stiffness and pain. If you're having side effects you should contact your psychiatrist ASAP.
T3 Treats Bipolar Disorder
I will say that my family member with schizophrenia has been helped considerably with zyprexa. It is the only medicine that has really stabilized her, and allowed her to SLOWLY begin to function and interact with people. It has taken a while to achieve this improvement and she is still taking the medication. For now, stability (eg ability to stay out of the hospital) and ability to enjoy family is the most important thing.Ive been diagnosed with schizophrenia and on fifth day taking Zyprexa. It definitly helps me but nothing i would take to enhance your mental state or something like that. Emergency only. This post may not be a major contribution to the forum but a little attempt to keep the thread alive. I hate all pharma unatural treatments but think i did the right choice taking it for a time.
