I want to tske lexapro (escitalopram) with Invega and Olanzapine. I read that csn cause QT syndrome and seroyonin syndrome. Anyone on olanzapine take an antidepressant?

I take fluoxetine and olanzapine. In fact those two are marketed as a combo pill together.I take them separately though.

Can you fall asleep easily on fluoxetine? When I wad only on Invega and lexapro I had a difficulty falling asleep

My doctor recently tried cutting my olanzapine in half and I could not sleep. But now that I am back on the full dose, I can sleep better. No problems. Plus my paranoia is getting better.

Olanzapine is the best. I’m quite partial to it. Lol. It has saved my life.

Initially I was started on olanzapine and sertraline which is an SSRI. Didn’t give me side effects that I can remember.
