just wondered if anyone can offer me any advice?
My psychiatrist has been trying to help alleviate some of the symptoms of OCD.
I have tried clomipramine 175mg which i am still taking but he also decided to add a mood stabilizer and was put on lamotrigine, but I had a reaction and had to come off it.
At my last visit he explained that he wanted to add a small amount of olanzapine at 2.5mg he explained that this would act similar to the lamotrigine.
I am concerned as he said that i do not have any other psychiatric illness than OCD and a few neuroses but nothing more than that! If this is the case why would he prescribe this drug as this is for bipolar and other illness.
