My last olanzapine dose was July 4th

Medications
1

Im so happy ive been able to sleep at night after quitting olanzapine. Been getting 7 hours a night.

1.My paranoia and delusions have increased
But not that much more then when I was on meds. I can deal with it.

  1. My libido is increased

  2. My appetite is under control. Smaller portions have been filling me up easier.

  3. More energy and motivation to exercise

  4. All my emotions have become stronger. More intense happiness. Crying more. More intense anger, ect…

  5. Lower tolerance to beer and THC

8.Breathing better.

Eeek. Why were you put on an AP in the first place? Did you have a psychotic episode?

No psychotic episode. I told my doctor that I thought every car passing by me was going to roll down their window and shoot me.then he put me on olanzapine

I tried to lower mine recently because of my weight but the wheels in my head started spinning too fast, don’t know how to describe it better than that, so we returned to the previous dose.

I noticed you had one post that seemed a bit paranoid the other week, which was strange to me because I’ve never noticed that in your personality before. It was just the one post but I’d keep an eye on it.

It’s hard man, I hope one day to need less of if not any of my AP, if I keep getting better, but we’re talking years not weeks. It took me 2 full years to get from 20mg to 5.

That’s great! Hope you stay healthy. I would recommend having something sedating as a prn in case you need it. Maybe Ativan is good for this? I use gabapentin. I only needed it one day though since I started tapering.
