I know there is a medication forum, but it doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic. But if this needs to be moved, I understand. I'm, currently taking 20 mg Prozac .5 xanax as needed. Anxiety is spiking ad Dr. wants to add 2.5 mg of Zyprexa (Olanzapine) at bedtime. Anyone have any experience with this?

Sounds like a typical plan of action for what you are going through. Also depends a lot on what your diagnosis is, too. Have you tried it yet? If so, how do you feel? Just make sure you take it only at bedtime! This class of medications can sometimes have funky effects if taken during the day.

Thanks. Diagnosis is GAD with an OCD component (HA), with now and again episodes of major depression. He said for him it is a pretty effective adjunct to Prozac. I will get it filled Sunday. But he told me at 2.5mg I should at most get sleepy.

Yeah (I am not a medical professional but used to work in the field a little bit) it does make sense that he has you on that! I hope it works out for you. If not, call them right away :)
