Hi guys,
Can any of you help me? I've just got out of hospital and am on the following meds for psychotic depression:
225mg Venlafaxine (Efexor)
15mg Mirtazapine (remeron)
15mg Olanzapine (zyprexa)I've been on the two antidepressants a few months, but only went up to the 15mg dose of olanzapine on monday night. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? I was on 5, then 10 in hospital and now my doctor increased it to 15. But the thing that worries me is that I noticed a real difference to my thoughts when I went up to 10, the very next day! But this time, I havent noticed anything. I feel so low now, it feels like nothing is gonna work. My thoughts are very muddled. Do you think it might take longer to work?
I cant help being really annoyed, coz Risperdal, the one I was on before, definately made more of a difference to my thoughts. It was great. But the side effects were HELL so I had to change. Its such sod's law though isnt it, the side effects on olanzapine are fine but the damn stuff isnt working :(
Sorry to rant on
love a very miserable kate
