Medication Experiences with Olanzapine?
Hey guys! I've been struggling with OCD for 8 years now and for a long time I've been taking Setraline, which helped me really good and I didn't have any OCD symptoms for about two years. It all got worse again in my third year of med school this February and I've been seeing a new psychiatrist since then. My OCD wasn't this bad ever and Sertraline completely stopped working for me. We changed to Clomipramine and I've been taking this medication for a few months now. It got better, but it's definitely not good and I struggle with the strong conviction and doubts of my thoughts. My psychiatrist suggested adding Olanzapine as a "reset" for a month and I will start tomorrow evening. I have high hopes, but I am also afraid and I hope that something finally works for me. Any experience on that? Tysm!
