Does olanzapine build up in your system like an ssri does ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Similar to antidepressants, olanzepine does reach a steady state level and so it is important to take the medications as prescribed. However, unlike antidepressants some of the atypical antipsychotics can have an immediate effect as well and even come in an injectible form.
