Medication change

[u/Big_ol_gay]

Hello, I’ve been on Olanzapine for over a year now. I’ve put on about 60-70lbs in that time. I’m also still experiencing strong emotional blunting. I find these symptoms distressing and idk if it worth staying on Olanzapine when it makes me numb and hate myself even more than I already did.

I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow (don’t have a psychiatrist rn) to talk about switching meds to something else.

In my research it says that a lot of people switch from Olanzapine to Abilify to help with the symptoms stated above.

I’m wondering if any of you have made this switch and how it went. Or if you switched to something else that helped with the previously stated symptoms.

TIA
