My situation is best described as someone who has ADD, with relatively severe OCD in addition. I was recently put on Zyprexa for insomnia, but it seems to be improving my anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I am rather surprised over this spill-over affect, but I'm extremely glad and grateful for it...finally something that really, really works. Now, I do feel "bad" and "guilty" in a strange sense, as I am not yet willing to give full credit to an anti-psychotic drug. I really don't at all, but I have to get over it. Maybe you can suggest a trial of a medication from another class of drugs; i.e. the atypical ADs like Remeron, Serzone, Effexor, or Wellbutrin. Maybe you can change any bad eating habits. Maybe you can start lifting weights three times a week. Anyhow, I wish you well. Hang in there and don't be so hard on yourself. You're definately trying.
