Not feeling the urge to do anything. I don’t know if it’s the negs or meds?
I hated the akathisia I had from Olanzapine. I was forced to take it for six months from 2015-2016 when I was involuntarily committed and court ordered to take meds.

I’ve had weight gain but to think positively like @POET I’m very fortunate and grateful to have olanzapine in my life. It is far better than the alternative. I honestly think I’d be dead or if not, I’d be homeless again but worse off this time.

Repeated thrombosis/lung embolism.
But a worse side effect than that, was they wrecked the core of my being. They caused anhedonia, emotional issues and (worsening of) psychosis.
I don’t think I’ll ever be a psychiatry enthusiast. Sorry.

Total dependence. Can’t sleep without it, and even when I take it sleep is not good on average.
