Hello,

My Aspergers treatment is taking a back seat till I control my OCD.

I am at my wits end now and have decided to act in regards to my medication. It is really not working so it is time to try a new one. I am on 100mg Zoloft and I have racing thoughts ALL DAY every second (except sometimes at night), negative intrusive thoughts, depersonalisation/derealization and feelings of unreality, losing touch with reality, extreme suggestibility and bizarre thoughts.

I am now weening down to 50mgs then slowly cutting a 50mg pill smaller and smaller every day till I am off. (GP's advice)

Man if the symptoms resolve, I am getting a new psychiatrist.

In case that is not the problem I am considering asking my GP for a low dose of Zyprexa (Olanzapine). Has anyone had success with Olanzapine? Please relate your positive stories,

cheers
