I've been on olanzapine along with venlafaxine and mirtazapine for depression. A doctor put olanzapine into the mix to help with sleep and appetite.  I'm still depressed but another doctor said lowering the olanzapine might help. He thinks it's not working with the anti depressants.  Anyone had the same?

    I'm on Olan and Ven, too My psych thinks it's a good combo - and I know someone else on them too... It is supposed to work on appetite and sleep, yes... Does it not help with you. I'm reducing my Olan - going thru hell! - so be very careful to do it slowly - in small amounts each time...
