Stop Olanzapine: Olanzapine is in a family of medications that can lead to movement problems. Olanzapine is not typically a major offender, so if you are experiencing this side effect it would be best to stop and talk to your doctor about a reasonable alternative. Are you taking any other medications that may effectively increase the dose of olanzapine in your body ? Are you using any drugs or alcohol ?

Let your MD know: A side effect such as stiffness can happen with such medications. It can be either counteracted with another medication or may disappear with a switch.
