Psychiatric medicines take longer duration to show the desired effect. They may take from 15 days to 2-3 months to get the right concentration in the blood. Kindly do not stop or alter medication yourself without asking your psychiatrist.

Dear Mam Thank you for your query.
Many patients who are prescribed oleanz complain of sleepiness. However, for most of them this side effect goes away with continued use. Please do not stop the medication without consulting your psychiatrist. If the problem persists, discuss with your psychiatrist regarding other options which are less sedating. Thanks Regards Dr. Ankita Mishra.

Dear lybrate-user,
if your wife has hallucination due to schizophrenia, oleanz 2.5 mg is a low dose. She needs more dose for improvement. Please take her for follow up with the psychiatrist.

Dear Avijata,
Ativan and lonazep belong to a group of anxiolytics called as benzodiazepines. Both can not act as an antidepressant. Both can reduce the anxiety part of depression giving you some relief.
Oleanz 10 mg is a major tranquilizer given for psychotic conditions.

The medicine works on your anxiety, thereby reducing it. Once the anxiety is reduced, you do not feel the need to do compulsions as often. Obsessions (thoughts) take time to go away. The medicines can be taken along with psychotherapy sessions which work directly on your compulsions (repetitive behaviors) and obsessions (thoughts). Psychotherapy is very effective in ocd and when done along with medicine, promising early results can be seen.

Oleanz 10 tablet is an atypical antipsychotic. It works by affecting the levels of chemical messengers (dopamine and serotonin) to improve mood, thoughts and behaviour. It is not a sleeping pill. If you take zolfreesh along with oleanz, you will get prolonged and deep sleep and perhaps tiredness.

If it is not suitable for you then kindly go for natural remedies with advanced psychological therapies. Only medication with never help to get rid of ocd in any way. So try therapies like lfms, mbcbt, eft, erp, bach medicine for better result. Consult a good psychologist or psychotherapist in your area. Otherwise you may get help from me.
