I had ideas and had been talking to myself for two years and I felt that no one in the world besides me was drinking marijuana and alcohol all day, and I slept and woke up perfectly until eating and going to the gym and I was able to finish thoughts when sleeping and when leaving the house after eating risperdal the thoughts did not end, but I became completely sleepless, which is my first and last problem in my story with schizophrenia, and for a week I could not swallow food and other things that are deadly until I went to the psychiatrist and he did not diagnose me with schizophrenia from the beginning, but tried to solve the sleep problem with simple medications, but finally I settled on olanzapine and it was very bad, but it helps Sleeping, but what is left of the day is very bad. I cannot think and forget a lot in less than 3 seconds, and I cannot focus and smoke all the time. I could not continue my studies with it and everyone used to tell me that you are almost all the time unconscious and sleep more than 14 hours sometimes, but after years I changed The treatment and tried to stop him with the doctor when settling down, but I got very tired and lost sleep again, but I dealt with the return of thoughts and gave in to them. It is not a reality and I returned for treatment, but without problems of concentration or digestive system and b Without forgetting and a very moderate sleep and I do not currently suffer, but I want a solution to improve the sense of taste, to love the taste of coffee as I used to and cigars also I wonder if I have a disorder of thinking and addiction and not schizophrenia, especially since I fell asleep after some times and I do not remember that I took the medicine to sleep and the last six months did not encounter me That is, my mind suffered as thoughts or confusion, and I became asleep so that my bedtime would not be disturbed before. I liked food and sleep. It became only what makes me not stay up as usual, is to go back to my day tomorrow at a time when I wake up well and I am late or after the circumstances I wake up on my appointment to enjoy my day and I no longer have any Feeling bored
Iām no expert on mental illness. but it seems like your going through a tough experience.
If the Olanzapine helps you sleep but side effects are too bad; you might ask your doctor, with your diagnosis, what medication would be best; and at what dose.
This might improve your quality of life.
For me, it seems like your quality of life is poor because of what your going through.
I would not mix alcohol or marijuana with your illness.
Stay strong. I wish you the best of luck @diplomat11
