The effect of the Olanzapine has certainly calmed me down and reduced alot of mental static that was making it hard for me to think. My paranoia has also decreased. I switched from quetiapine due to the over sedating effect of it. Its good for sleep, nothing else in my eyes.
I beleive the energising effect of the moclobemide aleviates the sedating effect of the olanzapine without disrupting its anti anxiety activity. The current doses of both are still quite low and i see room for an increase that ill discuss with my dr next week.
My advice to everyone is not to submiss to your Dr. They are experts in the field, yes, however they arent experts in your own personal symptoms and recovery. Be honest yet strong with your Dr about what u want from your medication and the severity of each of your symptoms.
Just for general background on my trials none of the following medication worked for me:
setraline, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, mirtazapine, citalopram, escitalopram, reboxetine.I had some releif from venlafaxine, however the side effects of nausia and drowsiness were hard to bear. It also lacked the ability to numb out some of the 'static' that borderliners experience.
