From Olanzapine to Quetiapine

[NicJK]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has switched from Olanzapine to Quetiapine? How did the switch go and do you prefer Quetiapine? I am having issues with Olanzapine and would like to make the switch but I'm very nervous to try

my father was prescribed to Quetiapine (25mg) 3 years back, along with some other medicine. he donot switch from anyother medicine, he was given this medicine only, from starting itself worked good only, but make sure to take it regularly. dont skip even single dose and thats very important (dont forget even one dose )

initially he was given 25 then to 50 then again to 25 , so be in regular contact with your Physician so that you can get correct dosage according to your body. he has so many other problem and many different medication, so dont know exactly what is the side effect of this particular medicine. dont worry it worked good for my father i hope for you too
