Any meds for unwanted thoughts things repeated in my voice took zyprexa (olanzapine) for 2yrs it worked been off for a month lost lbs thinking of taking it again

See your doctor: If Zyprexa (olanzapine) worked for you in the past it may be helpful for you to take it again. If you are concerned about weight gain then there are other similar medications which could be effective with less weight gain. I would recommend that you see your psychiatrist and discuss your options. You will also want your doctor to monitor your symptoms.
