My recent horror story!

I was on 3 antipsychotics. My dr has been reducing the number of medicines I take. So she first got me off Rexulti. Then she tried getting me off olanzapine (and swapped it for asenapine). I started getting messages and voices that I should hurt myself and just negative and insulting crap.

Well she had me stop asenapine and restart olanzapine 3 days ago and now I am not having those symptoms. Olanzapine is magic, I tell you!

I can’t have anymore medicine changes without approval from my husband from now on, because I just don’t have the proper judgement and brain capacity for that.

But I’m living with a good heart and a positive mind again. I hope everyone has a good night. Take it easy.

I can relate. My husband goes to all of my psychiatrist appts and we work as a team to decide my care. Im currently being weaned off Rexulti amd raising my dosage of risperdal. My p.doc doesnt want me on 2 APs. Ive been on 2 for years so we’ll see how it goes. We’re all watching me pretty closely.

Olanzapine has been really good to me for a long time. I’m happy you’ve sorted things out but stable is sometimes better than risking it for better function.
