Switching from olanzapine to Quetiapine week By week is good or not? From both I get little benefits. What to do. Please tell me. Thanks Psychiatry Patient

Dr. Georges Karam Psychiatry

It all depends on why you are taking these medications and why you are being switched from one to the other.

Those medications are good in several conditions however they are being used more "freely" lately by doctors for conditions that they are not approved for and thus will not get the desired benefit.
You need to seriously discuss with your psychiatrist the reason behind these medications and why he/she is switching you from one to the other. Good luck!
