What is a replacement to olanzapine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many but: While Olanzapine has a lot of side effects, it might be uniquely beneficial for some patients and switching may risk relapse of symptoms. As it is a very calming med, I have used saphris, (asenapine) seroquel and Loxapine to replace Olanzapine successfully, but every patient is unque and should carefully consider risks and benefits of any change.
