It is very important: that you be educated about what your medical/ psychaitric condition is and about the medications that you are being treated with. Olanazpine is an antipsychotic medication. However, antipsychotic medications are often used for coniditions other than psychotic ones. Please discuss thoroughly with your doctor/ psychiatrist.
