Hi,
Olanzapine belongs to the group of medications known as atypical antipsychotic medication that is used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and in the improvement of slow wave sleep. Olanzapine may help to improve working memory, verbal memory, visual memory, sleeping efficiency and sleep quality, verbal fluency, executive function, visual learning, reaction quality etc., according to some clinical studies.
Again, according to some clinical studies, Trazadone also helps to enhance memory, sleep efficiency, sleep continuity, concentration, cognitive function, recall abilities etc. Trazadone belongs to the group of antidepressant medications known as tetracyclic antidepressant that is used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, major depressive illness etc. If you have any confusion regarding this medication, then you can ask your prescribing doctor for further details.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
