I'm not being stubborn; I'm following my psychiatrist's orders. I seem to be bizarrely sensitive to medication (I get all sorts of weird movement sfx. on SSRIs), which is why he's been hesitant to ramp up the Lexapro too quickly.
So Zyprexa will make OCD worse without an adequate SSRI dose? Just need to check up on that 'cos I've been feeling like I'm losing my mind these past few days spent on a higher dose.
