I hv anxious disorder. My neurologist given me odypram (escitalopram OXALATE AND CLONAZEPAM), OLAnzapine, NAPROXEN SODIUM AND DOMPERIDONE, and CHYMOLIFE DP (TRYPSIN, diclofenac potassium). In beginning they showed effect but after someday they did not. I want second consultation.

Neurologist is not the right specialist to treat anxiety. He seems to have prescribed a masala of medications. Consult a psychiatrist, who is the right person to treat anxiety. Sometimes CBT needs to be combined with anxiolytics for better outcomes. All the best.

The medicine can be suggested only after detailed assessment by a psychiatrist. It will be beneficial if you learn behavioural skills and how to deal with repetitive thoughts and impulses. Psychotherapy will equip you will various techniques which will give you the extra relief. Talk to a trained and qualified psychologist. Help is just one call away.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Delhi

I have been grappling with the problem of ocd and anxiety for last 5 years. I have been taking paroxetine 75 mg and olanzapine 5 mg. Actually I am not responding to antidepressants well, and my treating doctor wants me to shift to new maoi's..thus will the maoi's be able to manage ocd as like paroxetine? I have dysthymia as well. So is it worth switching to maoi? Will it be able to manage ocd thought? Thank you.

Hi lybrate-user,
pharamcology (medicines) by themselves may not be sufficient for ocd and anxiety issues. Consider seeking cognitive behavior therapy from a clinical psychologist which would work directly on your behaviors and thoughts while the medicines work on your anxiety. Cbt is very efficacious for ocd and you will see good results.

Hello,
Olanzipine is known to cause Parkinsons disease like symptoms. but the dose you are taking is minimal. the main thing is to reassess the need for antipsychotics and are they realyy required. Secondly you can try Pacitane

Yes I know taking olanzapine without proper recommendation is not good. But a lot of physicians who are family friends have told me to go on with it. But then I have strange feelings in my head. Like particular parts of my brain are moving. It subsidies when I balance it with fluoxetine. Thanks.could you tell me whether 2.5 mg a day is okay to take as a mood stabilizer?

Dear lybrate-user, it is possible that benzodiazepines do affect concentration. However give it a few days till your brain gets used to it. If you feel the difficulty in concentration is persistent or intolerable please contact your prescribing physician soon.

These medicines can increase serum prolactin levels leading to missing periods. Get her serum prolactin levels checked and if high, consult her doctor regarding the management.

Asked for female, 61 years old from Kolkata

My mother, 62 years of age has been suffering from dementia and depression since 2016. She was prescribed dveniz, daxid for depression and admenta (bds), aricep (ods) for dementia since september, 2016. The disease has progressed albeit slowly. But there had been behavioral changes specially repetitive behaviour, frequent fits of aggression etc. Because of the increased aggressive tendencies, her doctor asked to stop antidepressants in january 2020. aggressive behavior dwindled down after that. However it increased a bit since december 2020. Due to unavailability of the previous psychiatrist we had to consult a separate psychiatrist in february, 2021. He started a new drug, olanzapine 2.5 (ods). My mother started taking the drug since february 10th. However she started getting quite drowsy from the middle of march. So we had to visit the doctor on march 26th. He asked to stop olanzapine 2.5 and continue with aricep and admenta. She was more or less fine till last tuesday, 6th april. But suddenly from 7th april there was a total change in everything. It's almost like she's spellbound! totally lost and not being able to do basic daily activities. It's almost like her brain has been switched off. She's walking slowly, not being able to eat/ drink on her own. And since yesterday she's having trouble using the toilet too. Not being able to pass urine or stools. Is this because of the drug olanzapine? If so, then can some other drug be used to negate these side effects of olanzapine?

It is sad to convey but symptoms you suggested are of disease progression and not because of side effects of on going medications.

I have been on olanzapine for about 7 years due to a few drug induced psychosis I am now off it and mentally healthy. I was wondering will I get back more energy because I feel fatigued from the medication. I also have erectile dysfunction from the medicine, and was wondering will that go away now. I am only 25 so that's a young age to be impotent.

Hi, I can understand your worries. I would suggest you to take some counseling sessions with a good psychotherapist. Join a meditation group and also join some positive group activities like sports or music. Basically you have to relax mentally and your body needs some exercise.
