Quetiapine better than olanzapine?

Posted by Trotter on December 14, 2010, at 0:32:50

I currently take 2.5mg olanzapine to help me sleep and reduce anxiety. My doctor said I should consider quetiapine (Seroquel) because it may help me sleep better. I sort of like olanzapine because it sort of works, but I don't like the reduction in libido or the weight gain. Another problem I have with olanzapine is it interacts with Fluvoxamine (strong inhibitor of CYP1A2). Anyone have experience/knowledge about these two drugs? Does quetiapine have any common side effects that olanzapine doesn't? Is it more addictive or hard to withdraw from? Does it lower libido?
