It was 4 days after I had quit Seroquel cold turkey…I was hearing doctors in the walls and thought the police wanted me for something. I was so scared to leave my apartment that I couldn’t even take the dog outside to do her business. Never again!

The interesting thing about this is even normies get hallucinations when they stay up for days… There’s a test they do in some divisions of the army where they stress test you and keep you awake for days with little food etc. even normies report seeing hallucinations. So there’s a connection for sure.

Please don’t be scared. Im 3 months off olanzapine and sleep with the help of Seroquel a very small dose 50 sometimes 100 mg.
It is possible to get off the olanzapine
I think the user called Headspark knows something about that
But Yes I don’t know if I can come off meds completely

I hate not being able to sleep some militaries use it as a form of torture and it is.

Maybe around 48 hours. I was young and healthy. Our band had free reign of a recording studio for the weekend. By the end we all felt both hungover and inebriated.

72 hours is my max. After that point, I check myself into the hospital. Luckily, I haven’t had to do that in many years.
