"The safety of doses above 20 mg/day has not been evaluated in clinical trials. " from the FDA fact sheet on olanzapine https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugs...253s048lbl.pdf

You are taking 50% over the max dose. But since you have been on it for a long time and things have been fine, I guess you prescriber knows what they are doing. And the side effects seem to have waned, so, congratulations.

Is what you are trying to say that you recognize you need treatment now, the side effects have waned, but the beneficial effects are missing?

May I ask why your screen name is a numeric string? It reminds me of Compuserve email addresses from back in the previous millennium. And I am dating myself here .
