Hello. Firstly from your mail and your Chat Doctor. .as diagnosis of bipolar with schizophrenia is one of very rare disorder. Secondly there has been no mood stabilizer in your prescription, thirdly even at 5 mg of olanzapine you are having such sedation... I would suggest you to take a second opinion about reconfirm your diagnosis once. If your diagnosis remain the same, and you continue to be on same medication than you can decrease your dose of olanzapine which is the main reason of sedation and cause secondary dizziness the whole daytime care
