Its it safe to take zyprexa (olanzapine) on the long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are risks: Yes, but not if you gain weight quickly on it. It must be stopped if you develop diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, excessively high triglycerides, tardive dyskinesia, if you can make it through without developing or treating any of those problems., then it should be fine.
