In reply to Fourth day on Zyprexa...do the side-effects pass?, posted by BIGDaddyachmed69 on March 6, 2004, at 17:15:44
> I'm new to this board...I've been diagnosed with depression, GAD, OCD, and social anxiety. I'm currently taking 75 mg of Paxil CR, 200 mg of Lamictal and I was recently prescribed 2.5 mg of Zyprexa after explaining to my psychiatrist that my OCD was getting worse. This is the fourth day I've been on it, and I've been having more dreams than usual...they've been getting more and more disturbing. Does this pass?
YES!! I can relate 100%...the dreams DO pass but might take a couple of weeks. My dreams relate around family tragedies and being very angry with my Mum and Dad (freudian interpretation please!?)
Also it makes me very worried aboiut everything the first couple of days (or the first couple of days after dose increase)
Just after the dreams stop then my OCD symptom is CRUSHED! Zyprexa clears this OCD though, fixation very well...
So be patient!
