Is it safe to take Olanzapine and Fluoxetine for anxiety issues?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. You can take one capsule of Fluoxetine 20 mg daily in the morning and a tablet of Clonazepam 0.25 mg twice a day. The Clonazepam will provide relief until the full effect of Fluoxetine sets in. It takes about four weeks for the full effect, but improvement should start within one week. Fluoxetine is among the best and safest antidepressants, although it might cause some gastrointestinal issues. Also, I do not think you need to take Olanzapine. Do you have a history of fearfulness, hearing voices when alone (hallucinations), or suspiciousness (delusions of persecution or reference)? Kindly follow up with these information for further guidance. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

I read your query and understood your concern. I do not suggest taking Olanzapine for anxiety alone, as it is an antipsychotic medication. I suggest you take one 20 mg capsule of Fluoxetine daily in the morning after breakfast. For daily morning anxiety, take one tablet of Clonazepam 0.25 mg after breakfast. If needed, take an additional 0.25 mg in the morning. Take one tablet of Clonazepam 0.25 mg at night. If sleep disturbance persists, you can take 0.5 mg that is two tablets. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

I read your query and understood your concern. No, it will not affect your sexual drive. It may lead to delayed ejaculation. However, gastrointestinal side effects are more common than sexual side effects. It takes months for for it to result in sexual side effects. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

I read your query and understood your concern. The medications prescribed will not impact your sex drive. However, if you encounter issues, you can use Cyproheptadine 2 mg and skip the Fluoxetine capsule on days when you are sexually active. Your sex drive should return to normal once you stop the medication completely. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
