Olanzapine the weight gain effect no more.

Additional Information

It is said you are more likely to die 15-20 years younger if affected by MH but not as a result of your MH Condition.

Olanzapine once caused severe affects to my physical health as my weight doubled my petite frame felt crushed struggled to breath, borderline for diabetes and thyroid related conditions.

I came off that medication two years ago moment I stopped I started to lose the weight as was no longer taking something that constantly made me never feel full my weight decreased and no longer is my physical health at risk.

I'm meeting the health minister soon to show him how I once was and am now and ask him to sign calling for specialist weight monitoring and support services be commissioned and delivered for individuals who need to have that medication be properly monitored and supported reducing risk to physical health and promotes better mental health too.

Katie Siobhan, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
