But when I was on 2.5 Zyprexa the Nardil actually kicked in so I don't know what to think. I am really panicking, I thought the depression was from the Zyprexa and would pass, now I'm not sure.
Ace, I doubt that the Zyprexa was responsible for anything except making you feel better for a little while. When used for depression, I think 5mg is a good dosage. I don't know what dosages are recommended for OCD or anxiety disorders. Many people show an initially good antidepressant response to Zyprexa only to see it fade after a week or two. That's not to say that it still doesn't have a place in your treatment regime. That it seems to have a true mood-stabilizing quality about it might make it useful.
Good luck.
