Participant Flow

Of the 40 participants who were initially consented, 5 were screen fails, 13 were lost to follow up and 5 were withdrawals prior to beginning Phase I of being prescribed olanzapine. 17 participants began Phase I and 4 were lost to follow up during that phase. 13 participants went on to Phase II to be randomized to one of two melatonin groups, however 3 were not able to collect data, leaving 10 participants in Phase II.

Measure
Olanzapine Phase
In treatment phase I, all subjects will receive olanzapine, 10-25 mg/day.
IIA (0.3mg/Day Melatonin)
In the 0.3mg/day melatonin in treatment phase II, all subjects will receive olanzapine (10-25mg/day) plus melatonin. Subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive melatonin 0.3mg/day or 3mg/day. Group IIA will receive 0.3mg/day of melatonin.
IIB (3mg/Day Melatonin)
In the 3mg/day melatonin in treatment phase II, all subjects will receive olanzapine (10-25mg/day) plus melatonin. Subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive melatonin 0.3mg/day or 3mg/day. Group IIB will receive 3mg/day of melatonin.
