Prolonged use of olanzapine may cause a serious movement disorder that may be irreversible. Symptoms include uncontrollable muscle movements of the lips, tongue, eyes, face, arms, or legs. The longer you take olanzapine, the greater the chance of developing a serious movement disorder. The risk of this side effect is greatest in women and the elderly.
Side effects may include:
Uncontrolled muscle movements on the face (chewing, clicking on the lips, frowning, tongue movements, blinking or eye movement);
Difficulty swallowing or speaking;
Swelling in the hands or feet;
Confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior, hallucinations, or thoughts of harming yourself;
Fever or chills sudden, fever, chills, sore throat, swollen gums, mouth pain, swallowing pain, sores on the skin, cold or flu symptoms, cough;
Signs of dehydration - dry mouth, feeling very thirsty or hot, not being able to urinate, sweating a lot or hot and dry skin;
Liver problems - upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
>High blood sugar - increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruit odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, weight loss;
or

im betting you are now getting gains from the high blood sugar and hunger part of the side effects, more energy to recover and muscle regeneration, but all the side effects are not worth it,
when the treatment ends go to caffeine pills, plain coffee or preworkers, and a good diet, but imo continuing with the pill will do more hurt than benefit
