Hi, I am into depression and anxiety. My condition improved a bit after consuming olex f (olanzapine 5 mg plus fluoxetine 20 mg). I discontinued it due to its side effects. My condition again has deteriorated. I restarted it couple of times, but it makes me dull, light headed and drowsy the next day. I want to know, as it is the lowest dose available and in order to reduce its side effects, can I consume half tablet of it and will half tablet show some improvement in my condition?

Hi lybrate-user you can definitely try half a tablet although it’s a very mild dose. I’d suggest you get a consultation and change your medications. There are several types and classes of medications available for depression and anxiety which will not have the side effects you mention. You can try other medication combinations for the same. Hope this helps
