> This morning OCD was a tiny bit worse which is a good sign in my books- whenever a drug helps me, makes me a bit worse at first. I mist my study, didn't shower just crashed last night! Maybe this is why I was worried during times I woke up.

I'm not sure about the zyprexa and OCD, but for anxiety in my case the zyprexa took the wind out of it almost immediately. Don't quote me, I could be wrong but I seem to remember hearing somewhere that zyprexa can occasionally make people anxious, just something to keep in mind if you find it's not helping your anxiety.

> I never really had the initial worsening, in the core symptom sense, which you point out, for yourself may likely be a very good sign, so it's hard to say.

> Ace, Nardil 90mg, Zyprexa, 2.5mg.Good luck, sorry I couldn't be much help
