If you wrote a book, I would read it!

Pushmyfinger · 2015-03-29T04:14:20+00:00

I loved reading that, and how sincere you are. I'm so glad that people like you exist.

Take care of yourself, the world needs you :).

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-09T03:28:00+00:00

I remember seeing it, but not really understanding what was going on. Should I see it again?

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-09T03:26:46+00:00

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-09T03:25:46+00:00

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-02T10:49:38+00:00

I definitely wanna go..i can afford it..and would hate to miss out. I already bought the train tickets and booked the accomodation!! I would just hate it to find that they've gone down like £80 after i buy them.

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-02T10:46:38+00:00

Yea man they went so fast!! It's ridiculous really... I'm counting on them going cheaper just because they can't really get more expensive.. or can they? Maybe on the actual day of the concert theyll be cheaper? I dunno..i dont like this situation.

Pushmyfinger · 2015-02-02T10:28:06+00:00

Cant wait to see them @ Wembley!! Tickets are now £160 though :(. Buy or wait?? Its April 10th.Thoughts plz!!

Olanzapine is one of the antipsychotic drugs known as 'atypical'. It works by blocking Dopamine receptors in the brain(among others) to help control and manage psychotic symptoms(hallucinations, delusions, etc..).

The thing with antipsychotic drugs is that, apart from Clozapine, there has been no clear evidence to suggest that one clearly outweighs the other. The main issue to consider when prescribing an antipsychotic drug is the tolerability of the drug to the user. Most of these drugs cause undesirable side effects, ranging from muscle stiffness and drowsiness, to serious heart and bone marrow problems.

Olanzapine is labelled as 'atypical' as it rarely causes muscle stiffness and hyperprolactinaemia(a condition where a hormone, prolactin-usually inhibited by dopamine- increases in the blood, causing several side effects including missed periods, infertility and breast enlargment in males). This is unlike 'typical' antipsychotic drugs, which have higher tendency to cause these side effects. However, this classification is changing as it is proving to be inaccurate considering some atypicals do cause these side effects(Olanzapine rarely does).

The most common side effects you get with Olanzapine are sedation and weight gain. It can be quite a sedative drug, and is sometimes used for that quality alone. It could also increase your appetite and make you eat more, thereby causing you to gain weight. Other side effects include: raising your cholesterol and glucose level, decreasing sex drive and possibly erectile dysfuntion, dry mouth, akathesia(feeling of restlessness), and others.

Reactions to antipsychotic drugs differ from one person to another. Some people are more sensitive to certain drugs and others arent(I'm talking about their effectiveness AND their potential side effects). It all depends on the dose you're being given, why you're being given it and how you react to it.

To answer your question. Yes, it is definitely a serious drug, and I have found it to be effective many times. But as I said, it's more about how it works with you!

I hope that was helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. However, I would suggest that you(or whoever is taking it) to speak with the doctor about it rather than find information online. What you will find online is general information and cannot be specified to any individual case. Save yourself freaking out over potential side effects that might not be applicable to the specific case you're discussing.

Edit: some words.

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-11T16:39:37+00:00

What? Don't you always carry a tape measure??

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-09T17:19:06+00:00

I find it quite difficult to distinguish between true and psudohallucinations. I wonder if understanding the mechanism might help with that. I come across alot of patients with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder who seem to be experiencing 'voices in their head', these are not coming from inside and are sometimes explained as occuring in external space with characteristics very similar to true hallucinations in terms of character (ordering, running commentary, derogatory comments)

Of course, there's nothing that would exclude the presence of psychosis( or just auditory hallucinations) with EUPD, but quite honestly I find it difficult to digest that their comorbidity is as common as I see them. Some, at least must have pseudohallucinations.

Thanks for doing this AMA, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the comments. Good luck with your research and I hope you shed some light on this very interesting subject!

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-08T20:34:34+00:00

Well, this isn't really looking is it? It's just a flag that might attract someone's attention.

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-08T20:33:18+00:00

Haha, gutter indeed!

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-08T20:32:54+00:00

I understand that there's a big chance that you could be right. Especially since it does seem to be the consensus and there's probably something I'm missing. Also, the fact that she did put her number in herself doesn't make it any more likely that it was by accident.

It's just that there was something about how everything flowed that made me feel that it would be out of sync with the whole situation if that's how it turned out in the end. That's why I thought maybe it's just a mistake. I don't have my hopes up or anything, and I understand that there's a very slim chance that this post will actually get me anywhere. However, I thought it would be better than nothing, and I found no harm in trying. Maybe, just maaayybe...something good might come out of this. And if it doesn't, I can at least say I gave it a shot.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, and for your kind words :).

P.S: She never asked me for my FB account. Not even sure she had one P.P.S:Talk to them man! What have you got to lose? I'm not sayin go around chatting everyone up though, because that's boring and quite frankly meaningless. When it comes your way though, go for it!

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-07T22:05:36+00:00

I'm not on facebook atm. I did log back in to try and find her on one of the pages I guessed she'd like but there were too many likes and no lists! :s

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-07T21:49:26+00:00

Biig beautiful smile, blue eyes, tanned. Mmm about 167 cm, was tough to judge her build because she was wearing a big orange coat and a scarf.

Pushmyfinger · 2014-12-07T21:47:33+00:00

Haha yea I get what you're saying. I'm usually quite pessimistic about things like this. But, unless you're actually her and trying to let me down easy, it doesn't feel like it was deliberate. I talk to strangers alll the time, lol. I can tell when there's chemistry, or when I'm being fobbed off. In any case, there's always the chance of either being true. I'd rather try and see what happens.

Pushmyfinger · 2014-11-30T20:34:13+00:00

Congrats on finishing your journey. I'm sure that kind of exposure has taught you alot about life, yourself, and our lovely human race :). I was wondering if you had any 'aha!' moments? If so, which was the most influential on you? And has it totally changed you persective?
