A member asked:
Is there an alternative to olanzapine for nerve pain but not lyrica (pregabalin) ? olanzapine causing significant weight gain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are a number of alternatives. Indeed, weight gain is a common problem with olazapine; and while it may facilitate the analgesia of other medicines, olanzapine is usually not considered to have a direct effect on nerve pain. So, you need to talk this over with your prescriber.
