Encourage you to: see a psychiatrist. If an atypical anti-psychotic is needed there are a number of other choices in addition to zyprexa (olanzapine). Zyprexa (olanzapine) is well known for the side effect of weight gain. If sleep is the only condition the zyprexa (olanzapine) is being used for - there are also sleep medications that can be used. If your nurse practioner is not familiar with other treatment options - then seeing a psychiatrist
