Possible Sedation: It is possible that the Olanzapine is making you feel sedated and lethargic which would make it appear that your Concerta is no longer working. If it is medication side effect, it could improve with time. Continue to discuss your concerns with your doctor and track during which times during the day you feel the symptoms and what time you take your medication. Good luck!
