Hi I'm currently on 187.5mg of venlafaxine and 10mg of olanzapine, my olanzapine was increased 6 weeks ago to 7.5mg then again just over 3 weeks ago to 10mg due to my anxiety coming back due to an enormous amount of stress I've been under, in short my son has special needs and things are very challenging at the minute, when I first increased to 10mg I felt better almost overnight but then within a week the anxiety was back, I'm needing Diazepam every day just to function as normally as I can. I phoned my physc's secretary on Friday but unfortunately he wasn't in but she spoke to another physc for me who said that the olanzapine can take 4-6 weeks to be effective and I'm sure I'm suffering some side effects from the increase like dry mouth and tremors, I keep bursting into tears, I had 3 important meetings for my son's care last week and I honestly don't know how I got through them, I was a shaking wreck 😢 I just don't know where to turn.
