I was on an olanzapine depot. I just quit cold turkey, and I’ve been told it tapers off by itself.

Every time I quit taking my meds I ended up in a psych ward.
Probably you still have olanzapine inside your system. When it wears off, what will you do?

I don’t think there’s any left in my system. Maybe the teeeniest amount that has no effect. I have my libido back now so the ap must have worn off.

Olanzapine shouldn’t affect libido, Risperdal and Invega reduce libido.
I would never ever go off my meds again,I tried it and got pyschotic within two weeks It is very important for me to stay on my meds!
I wish I had my erection back. But I am afraid of psychosis. I don’t dare to quit meds

Well all i can say is good luck, and i hope that you don’t relapse. I, myself, wouldn’t take that chance. I’ve done it before. I put myself through hell, as well as may loved ones. I can’t do that to them again.

What was your history before not taking meds? What made you take medicine and how did you do when you were taking medicine?
Had psychosis in 2017, hospital three weeks. Didn’t take meds when I came out. Psychosis 2018 March. Sectioned again. Came out in May and took meds until 2019 January. Jan 2019-October 2019 no meds but had my third psychotic episode. Got sectioned two months. Came out December and relapsed after a week. Got sectioned for another six months. Came out in June 2020, and stopped the anti psychotics after 8 months on Paliperidone, then clopixol then olanzapine. I was ill whilst on meds during my last hospitalization for about five months. I was delusional and hallucinated a bit.
Wish you the best. I need my meds, unfortunately. I thought about smoking pot after researching mind control and how to counter it, but its too risky. Im okay right now. Ive journaled hundreds of pages and learned to open up. They say it opens neuronal pathways that were closed. I might wait a few years to try. I’ll be still on meds too. I think it could be dangerous for me, but its legal here in California.
Even here, it’s hard to get help and acceptance, but it helps. I like this place. I know i got delusions but part of it is real and part of it is false memories and paranormal crap like time travel, immortality, and aliens.
Its part of the programming. But i love this place. Infinitely better than second rate therapists and doctors on Cia payroll and cover ups.
The pot thing scares me. I might remember or smoke too much. It could have serious adverse effects.
The book I read confirms what I experience: suggestibility from the outside. Like “you are what you read”. That describes me to a T. I watch TV and read things even fictional things like TV show lost and relate and think its about me.
Regarding quitting meds, I doubt it will be successful since you got the God delusion among other things. Every time I quit, I get sick and have to double up my meds or they become useless and have to change them. For me, with a mood stabilizer, I could last a couple of months before being hospitalized, but i have outside issues like caffeine psychosis and trauma.
I’m sicker and more delusional than you like you said in your other thread. Its probably true. I got more problems than 99.9% of people in the world right now.
