    I was recently put on olanzapine for anxiety. I am on it about 2 weeks give or take a few days. I started getting relief last week but I had a set back and have gotten worse. I don't leave the house the agoraphobia is too much. My doc has now split it in two half's. 5mg at night and 5 mg in the morning. I am doing this 2 days now and I feel flat and depressed and crying uncontrollable. Anyone on similar ways to taking it as me? When does the flat side effects subside?
