Common Questions and Answers about Olanzapine and cannabis

I'm no longer on olanzapine and I did not know about the posiable drug interaction untill I saw a new Dr recently and started asking why I might be getting leg pains so bad. I did ask her about olanzapine being connected to the pain but she said there should be no lasting so effect's from it now that I'm off the med. I asked her if olanzapine can be stored in the fat cell or anything as I gained 35 kg from olanzapine and when I lost 10kg fairly fast I wonder if there was conection.
They took me to psychiatrist that put me on olanzapine 10mg and kept me in the hospital for 10 days. Traumatic experience. Than after 2-3 months the doctor put me on 7mg, and now I'm on 5 mg olanzapine. It was harder to cope with rest of the world the first few mounts. I didn''t want to do the things I wanted, It was hard to cope with my previous social life, I felt like I have nothing to talk to my friends, like my brain is empty, like I'm brain washed.
I am no Dr. but if that's what your doc said to do...it is probably fine. If you don't feel comfortable you can always ask him/her to ween you off of the olazapine slowly.
But, seroquel is a strong drug..so, I think you will be fine.
But, again, I am no dr.
This is the first study that evaluates the relationship between alcohol and cannabis use in patients with HCV and those coinfected with HCV/HIV. It is of great importance to disease management that physicians understand the factors influencing HCV disease severity, especially those that are potentially modifiable. The use and abuse of both alcohol and marijuana together is not an uncommon behavior.
The primary role of cannabis is to stimulate appetite, reduce nausea and vomiting, and treat joint pain. This role is applicable to HCV patients undergoing chemotherapy, those with cancer or cirrhosis, and those with joint pain and headache. Cannabis is far less toxic than other medications that might be prescribed for these conditions and where liver impairment is concerned, it is vital to avoid toxicity.
listen carefully....
my exs brother was a regular weed/cannabis smoker for 16years before he became ill with scitphzo and anxisty etc etc
me and my ex first notcied a change in andy me ex bro when he started saying starange things ..one day we picked him up from his flat and he opened his door with such a stoned scary look on his face and when we got our car he started telling us that we'd been outside the night before shouting 6floors from down stairs up to him at 1am in the morning .
t have evidence that a person should forgo chemo and just use cannabis. But there is evidence that cannabis is useful for the side effects of chemo, and it does not interfere with the benefits (and sometimes makes the chemo more effective). If Cannabis was a terrible immuno-suppressant, we would not have thousands of studies that show that cannabinoids slow the growth of cancer cells.
Hi, Im on zyprexa olanzapine 5mg, and when I first went on them It would make me very drowsy and pretty much knock me out a few hours after taking them! this caused problems at first as if I took them too late and then went to sleep before they kicked in, I would sleep right through my alarm, I quickly adopted what time I should take them and stuck at about 7pm to get to sleep for 11pm - 12am.
I was given 4 types of drugs YEARS AGO in 2007 Olanzapine,Risperidone,Depixol,Trihexyphenidyl, i suspect it is the Olanzapine that has caused an internal burning gastric sensation below my navel area and around crotch area and wondered if you know of any drug,vitamins,herbs to reverse the damage caused and if you know what the problem could be?
Last night I took my first olanzapine pill(5mg), for panic attacks and apparently I did some weird
things in my sleep. My girlfriend said my legs were twitching, and sounded like I was choking when I was
snoring. It only happened last night, and not this morning when I was sleeping. I feel normal today,
just a little dizzy(I slept 15 hours).
Is this normal?? Thanks
Also, I can't stop sleeping!
Both Olanzapine and Resperidone are atypical antipsychotics. So, basically, you will be taking the same class of antipsychotics. Resperidone is however a very potent antipsychotic. The response to treatment has been found to be more stable with Resperidone, so that’s a plus point with this drug. Both drugs cause similar side effects, but Olanzapine shows fewer motor function side effects than Resperidone in comaparative clinical trials.
It cuts down a lot on the carcinogens, which are probably the particles that cause damage. You can also try making butter from cannabis and use it that way instead of smoking it. Just Google and you will find answers to all this.
Your doctor has to prescribe it for medical use, then you need to apply in your state for a Medical Marijuana Card. I would not smoke it and not have a Medical Marijuana Card.
5mg and Buproprion XL 300mg... After a couple months and not much change my doctor adds in Olanzapine 5mg, problem is I've been doing a bit of research online and am now too nervous to take the Olanzapine(Zyprexa) with the Clonazepam(Klonopin). Every thing I've seen has basically said that these two can interact very badly causing shallow breathing, loss of consciousness, etc. It would be much appreciated if I could get some feedback from anyone who has taken the two together.
kevwaw,
Sorry to hear about the panic attacks and anxiety. I was a heavy cannabis user for over 10 years until around the age of 27. I can attest it worsened my anxiety issues. I've had bad moments where I felt like I was going to pass out when I just wasn't in the right state of smoking it. Those were rare occasions. I noticed when I stopped smoking it for the first time, I started back and immediately experienced over-sensitive feelings.
In the past few days I get to feeling quite strange, dizzy and tingling in my hands and bottoms of my feet. I find that exercise, bicycling, helps. I read that too much potassium doesn’t work well while on propranolol because while on it the body does not excrete potassium as normally and you can get levels that are too high. Could this be the cause or is there an adjustment period while taking propranolol?

2. "The fact that both CB1 and CB2 (Endocannabinoid) receptors have been found on immune cells suggests that cannabinoids play an important role in the regulation of the immune system.
We don't have medicinal mary jane where I'm at, but I do know that my husband takes an occasional toke to relieve his severe aches/pains/migrains...the same kind that pills were unable to achieve. But do beware: if you have an addictive personality...pot will be addictive for you too. I dont' like pot at all...it makes me too hungry, and gives me a pot'hangover the next day (makes me mentally slow.) The choice is yours.
Our results suggest that modest cannabis use may offer symptomatic and virological benefit to some patients undergoing HCV treatment by helping them maintain adherence to the challenging medication regimen," the researchers concluded.
According to Mirken, this is thought to be the first published study linking medical marijuana to improved cure rates for a life-threatening illness.

Hi, welcome to the forum, as rightly stated by Nikodicreta, there is no specific medical term for cannabis allergy. We can simply term it as ' cannabis allergy' or ' allergic to cannabis'. Hemp is not used commonly in medical practice.
I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
