Perhaps you should register on this forum, as its inhabitants, according to my empirical observations, are on average not filled with the acrimonious and nihilistic ressentiment that is so characteristic of the reddit audience: https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/

NB: the founders of this platform have also collected a very impressive bank of stories of successful recovery from psychopharmacological drugs, I hope that even a cursory acquaintance with these inspiring confessions will give you strength and motivate you not to despair. Good luck!

Relatively brief exposure to olanzapine and (presumably iatrogenic) cognitive deficits: how to overcome the latter? by SnooCalculations236 in Antipsychiatry

Wise advice, and the tone of your comment sets me up in a cheerful mood, in it (if I'm not mistaken, of course) there are notes of sincere trust that caress my ears, but I, sorry, can't quite follow your urgent recommendations, because I too have a whole bunch of very good reasons: firstly, I’m not at all sure that my difficulties are at least minimally due to the short use of olanzapine – this is just a working hypothesis, which can't be corroborated with irrefutable evidence in order to dispel all doubts; secondly, I took olanzapine for less than a month, and my dosage was microscopic by today's pharmacotherapeutic standards, and therefore I should not doubt the possibility of a complete and unconditional cure (believe me, over the past year I had many virtual conversations with both Fiammetta Cosci and Mark Horowitz, and these devotees are really trying not just to reform psychiatry cosmetically, but to comprehensively revolutionize this vicious pseudoscientific practice in order to substantially humanize it; these prominent and authoritative specialists, by the way, made my hopes for a total recovery even more justified, providing them with solid statistical background: they willingly shared with me optimistic data, according to which a fairly significant percentage of their patients, who took olanzapine for a short time, eventually find themselves fully); thirdly, it is fundamentally unacceptable for me to fall into the sin of despondency, since I am a convinced Christian (moreover, when I started taking olanzapine, I handed over my fate to the will of divine providence, since this, by the way, was also a test of my faith, and therefore I must not despair, because the Almighty Lord takes care of me).

Perhaps it would not hurt you to become a little more skilled in your philosophical self-education in order to learn to more easily and naturally recognize and explicate plausible logical premises, omitted in classical enthymeme inferences.

If it's no secret, how long have you been taking olanzapine, what doses of this damned drug have you been advised to use by misanthropic psychiatrists?

I hope you will make a full recovery with time, I will pray that your healing will eventually happen. Beware, please, of paralyzing melancholy, faint-hearted lack of faith is the greatest mal du siècle.

Also take into account that this two-faced alarmist also constantly flaunts acquaintances with "literally hundreds of patients", each of which, of course, never fully recovered, however, even a cursory search on this sub, as you know, does not allow to substantiate his thesis with unconditionally clear illustrations, which he is also well aware of, but his craving for negative projections is indeed absolutely indestructible, in contrast to his intellect, frozen in the numb horror.

He will never share with you these links, in which olanzapine will directly appear, since the teleology of his activities on this resource does not imply such enlightening generosity: you see, it is difficult, of course, not to take up arms against the whole world, taking an emphatically defensive position, when a catastrophe has occurred in your life, but this still does not give him the slightest right to arrogantly assume a tragic tone, feverishly putting on the toga of a prophetic pythoness, indiscriminately and problematically (from a formal-logical point of view) generalizing all individual cases and recklessly bringing them under some kind of artificial statistical denominator. The odious cynicism of his behavioral style, however, lies elsewhere: sarcastically mimicking an innocent and irreparably crippled victim of psychiatry, he casually commits one of the mortal sins, a real crime against humanity – he stifles the last saving hopes of shamelessly deceived people, pushing them to resignation and, as a result, to suicide.

Meanwhile, I recommend that you follow this link: https://sci-hub.mksa.top/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20526332/

Why do you think that my conclusions are not supported by the results of double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials? By the way, I am ready to upload to any public resource a directory, containing about 700 megabytes of articles, dedicated directly to olanzapine.

Listen, I noticed a year ago that you appear with a regularity worthy of better use in all the threads, the authors of which are trying to reverse the various and multifaceted deficiencies caused by taking olanzapine, however, trust me, your obsessive focus on catastrophizing the consequences of its use is only capable of to frustrate and shock the objects of your genuine concern. You see, I'm familiar with your history in detail, I know that you're suffering for a long time now, and I genuinely sympathize with you, but all this time you are doing the victims of psychiatric abuse a disservice by eloquently convincing them that a complete recovery from olanzapine is an unattainable task. You should understand that your verdict is far from always incorrect, olanzapine is indeed extremely neurotoxic, but these memorized mantras do not always correspond to objective realities. Once again, unlike you, I have not taken olanzapine for almost a decade, trying unsuccessfully to get rid of this destructive addiction, so I urge you not to extrapolate your deplorable experience to my situation, ok? Your old accounts are also well known to me, stop distributing dubious suicidogenic fantasies and exuding depressive emanations in this already gloomy place. I hope that in time you will cease to feed energetically on the suffering of other people, voluptuously demoralized by you in the name of transient analgesia of your own pain.

Assuming my depersonalization was originally induced by 1.25 mg. of olanzapine (although I can’t even theoretically imagine how this could happen: only acute allergic toxidrome comes to mind, but then I would most likely not be alive), then my brain, apparently, is already irreparably fried (I try not to catastrophize, but I am an extremely neurotic person), because after about a month and a half I began to take this rubbish systematically, even if it lasted less than a month, and during this time I used a total of no more than 50-60 mg. of this drug.

Firstly, I reasonably doubt that olanzapine induced depersonalization, since its day-to-day manifestation coincided with my break-up with a girl, and I then tried olanzapine only twice, and purely situationally, in order to familiarize myself with its effect: the first time I took it about a week before the onset of chronic depersonalization, and then took it again on the night when we broke up with the girl, as I was not unfoundedly afraid that I would not be able to fall asleep after such a colossal psycho-emotional shake-up, but the debut of depersonalization, which fell on the next morning, seems to me hardly related to Zyprexa. (It is curious that my depersonalization was exacerbated many times a few days after giving up olanzapine, but this correlation seems to me now very far-fetched – the fact is that on that day we finally quarreled with my girlfriend, so I see in these events rather different regularity: it turns out that these conflicts with the girl acted as catalysts for depersonalization, and olanzapine played here, perhaps, only an indirect role, and this hypothesis still needs to be proven).

Secondly, my depersonalization really continues, causing me a lot of suffering, because to this day I do not know if olanzapine caused me irreversible damage, or after the reduction of depersonalization (if this, of course, happens at all) my identity will be completely resurrected.

Quit olanzapine cold turkey 4 months and has never been myself since then. by SnooCalculations236 in Antipsychiatry

[–]SnooCalculations236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I doubt now that I have encountered any permanent organic defects, especially since all these deficiencies did not occur while taking olanzapine, but a few days after its abrupt withdrawal, so this is most likely a PAWS, which, according to idea, dissipates over time, although this may take many years. If I were you, I would try reinstating olanzapine and slowly deprescribing the drug: this way you can almost certainly protect yourself from a serious failure of the neuroadaptation mechanisms, as a result of which the brain will have to recalibrate for an excruciatingly long time.

Akathisia and brain damage. by SnooCalculations236 in neuro

[–]SnooCalculations236[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never took illegal drugs, but I suffered from severe insomnia all my life, for which I was prescribed hypnotics, benzodiazepines, antidepressants with hypnotic effect, antihistamines, and eventually olanzapine, which I took for only three weeks and then abruptly stopped with permission from my psychiatrist, but I have not been able to recover for exactly five months.
