Rage is contagious. When you have a temper, it may be difficult to admit there's a problem. You find yourself going from zero to 100. You were calm, and then your partner (or someone else) said something that triggered you. You snap, say something incredibly hurtful, and feel guilty. Before we know it, we go from being the adult in charge to the child having an emotional meltdown. I used to have the same issues. I was always an aggressive child. I was considered a very hot-headed person. I used ...more

Oleanz is ok, but lonazep in such high dose for years together is not advisable as it is a benzodiazepine and may carry unwanted side effects. Discuss with your psychiatrist and take sedative, non addictive medications and for constipation there are also non addictive ways to overcome, which your psychiatrist will tell.

Lybrate-user,
The medications olanzapine and Clonazepam are prescribed in low doses if there is a renal impairment under the supervision of a psychiatrist and only when the benefits of taking the medications outweigh the risks. If you have anxiety and depression issues you could review how bad the symptoms are and start cognitive behaviour therapy which does not involve medications. If that helps you and your symptoms reduce then medications can be reduced and stopped by the psychiatrist.

Dose of venlafaxine is very less and it needs to be increased. Once you are on higher dose of venlafaxine then olanzapine can be stopped.
You require a detailed assessment.

I have taken ayurveda medicines and fish oils to increase serotonin, but now psychiatrist (from nimhans) has diagnosed me with bipolar depression, so he prescribed me oleanz plus 20 mg/5 mg tablet for 30 days (one tablet daily at night after food). He also given me a general advice on regular exercise which helps increase serotonin and dopamine. So, my question is…the mechanism of the prescribed drug: oleanz plus tablet is a combination of two medicines: fluoxetine and olanzapine. They work by increasing the activity of certain chemicals called serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. These chemicals help relieve the symptoms of bipolar depression. But can I replace the prescribed drug with natural treatments like exercise, meditation/breathing exercises, gratitude, new hobbies like reading good books which naturally increase serotonin and dopamine in the brain? I want to replace it because, according to the psychiatrist, the prescribed drug (oleanz plus 20 mg/5 mg) will work 50% for me and with that if I do regular exercise, it will work more than 50% (but not 100%) I did’t start the medication (the prescribed one) yet… so can I replace it with exercise/fitness/meditation although the mechanism is similar i.e. To increase serotonin? And in past I used to take fish oils/ ayurveda medicines and I stopped it now.

Hi. lybrate-user
there are several studies now on nutrional suppliments on brain and how neuro transmitters are being produced or balanced.
Particularly omega3, folic acid, minerals like zinc, magnesium etc
but a correct diagnosis is primary.
Acute management of your problem may need medication also.
Also avail psychologists evaluation and counselling.
Take care.

single medicine is good. oleanz is a good medicine but has chances of producing weight gain, metabolic changes and sedation. If they are not there, it is wise to continue the same. If so, alternates are there. main thing is symptom control with least or no side effects. All the best.

It depends for what issue you are taking this medicine, it usually takes 1-4 weeks to see a significant effect.

You can talk to your doctor and have clarity. On your part, you can make up your mind to lead a healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet (more of natural food along with fruits and vegetables everday) and exercising every day will make you fit and energetic and also improve your overall well-being. Learn Yoga and pranayam which can bring harmony, and rejuvenate your body and mind. You can also add Homeopathy later as it is safe and gentle. You can contact me for further details.
