Can taking Oleanz for depression commonly cause hallucinations or other side effects?

Asked by Male, 30 · 9 days ago

Oleanz (olanzapine) is actually prescribed to help reduce hallucinations rather than cause them, so experiencing new hallucinations from it is very uncommon. However, like any medication, olanzapine can cause other side effects. The most common ones include sleepiness, increased appetite, weight gain, and dry mouth. These are usually manageable as your body adjusts. If you are experiencing hallucinations or other troubling symptoms, please contact your prescribing doctor right away so they can safely evaluate your symptoms and support you.
