Will Zoloft work for 2nd time?

I'm also taking 3x450mg lithium, 5mg olanzapine, 15mg mirtazapine. 1st time I took Zoloft, it worked wonders. I was sociable, there was no anhedonia, there were no sexual side effects, altough it made me tired, but taking short nap helped.

Olanzapine was a life saver and a nightmare. We are really hoping to avoid that all together. Again, she is functioning at work and at home.Olanzapine was a life saver and a nightmare. We are really hoping to avoid that all together. Again, she is functioning at work and at home.

Aripiprazole- feedback pls

The psychiatrist I recently saw, said I should consider switching from olanzapine ato aripiprazole. He said olanzapine is often used as the first choice because it's so fast-acting.The psychiatrist I recently saw, said I should consider switching from olanzapine ato aripiprazole.

Update on visit QEHB

He did state that my cirrhosis was down to a drug called olanzapine which is a very strong antipsychotic, which in 10 years never got reviewed or had blood test. And it’s a known fact that it caused fatty liver. Wish some of these doctors would just tell what they can do to you.He did state that my cirrhosis was down to a drug called olanzapine which is a very strong antipsychotic, which in 10 years never got reviewed or had blood test.

What to look for!

Her initial psychosis landed her in the hospital for just 2 days where they prescribed her Olanzapine, 15mg daily. It helped with mania almost immediately but of course came with other side effects.Her initial psychosis landed her in the hospital for just 2 days where they prescribed her Olanzapine, 15mg daily.

Olanzapine Question

The only concern we both still have is the dosage of Olanzapine she is on and how the side effects are effecting her everyday. She's tired all the time, lazy, unmotivated, trouble concentrating and focusing and occasionally has a "so what?" attitude.The only concern we both still have is the dosage of Olanzapine she is on and how the side effects are effecting her everyday.

Coming off olanzapine was a little tough with some anxiety and minor bouts of depression, but after a few days, she was much better. Well, last night she was out with my family doing some christmas shopping and she had a little too much to drink.Coming off olanzapine was a little tough with some anxiety and minor bouts of depression, but after a few days, she was much better.
