Is it allowed to take Olanzapine during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is excreted in breast milk in clinically non-significant amount without problems observed in infants whose mothers were receiving this treatment, whether on psychomotor development, speech improvement and weight gaining.Drug plasma levels in these infants were undetectable or very low. In the neonatal period, isolated cases of sedation and / or withdrawal symptoms have been reported, possibly by accumulative mechanism during pregnancy or added effect from another drug. Some experts think that Olanzapine would be the one of choice during lactation among second-generation antipsychotic drugs (Uguz 2016). May induce increased plasma levels of Prolactin but less frequently and lower than other antipsychotic drugs.

I was finally given this medication after suffering with severe daily anxiety for six months. I have only been on it for a week. I worked immediately, and the anxiety is dwindling away. I agree with one of the other reviewers in that it saved my life.

I had psychosis. I took this medication because of the psychosis and possible bipolar. I was very tired the first two weeks of use. I went from 150 pounds to 183 pounds within a month and a half of use. It helped with the psychosis, but the weight gain was not worth it. I am trying to get off of this medication.
