Can olanzapine reduce symptoms of psychosis gradually?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The rate of response of psychotic symptoms to olanzepine varies from individual to individual but in general , it is an effective and fast acting drug against psychotic symptoms. Generally, it starts affecting these symptoms within days, but it may take weeks before complete control of symptoms takes place.
