> I've been on Zyprexa for about 10 days now (one week at 2.5mg, 3 days at 5mg). So far it's increasing my anxiety and OCD. Are the anxiolytic effects usually delayed, or is this a sign I'm on an inadequate dose?

I wouldn't assume that Zyprexa is always calming. It can trigger mania in some people. I cannot predict the effects that Zyprexa will ultimately have on you, but I would not be shocked if you were to report having a paradoxical reaction to it.

"Ramassubo et al. [2000] speculated that, unlike traditional antipsychotic drugs, atypical neuroleptics may have a paradoxical effect on OCD. They may induce or exacerbate symptoms in a subset of patients..."
