That's too bad. I've heard of so many people who gained weight horribly on olanzapine. I'm grateful this didn't happen to my son. I'm hoping the blood test this Saturday comes back good too. I guess he just has a metabolism or genes or something that does well with olanzapine.

How is he doing now? is he stable? I hope so.
He's fine. Has his own place, working full-time, taking a class to get certified as a peer support person. He says he just needs a gf to make his life complete. He still has a little paranoia and a great deal of anxiety which he's working on dealing with.
