A member asked:

Is it safe taking sertraline with olanzapine ?sertraline for ocd and olanzapine for sleep.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe to take: Yes, you can safely take these drugs together. If you are on higher doses of them, taking both can make you more prone to side effects like drowsiness, but if taking olanzapine for sleep I suspect you are on low dose.
