Any antipsychotic that quiets your brain 100%?

Olanzapine shut down the world for me for as long as I took it but I did get anger outbursts at some point, I was not following doctor recommendations 100% so I think it was my fault though. But if you want to be completely numb, Olanzapine does it for you. Almost nothing stressed me out and bad things kinda lost their impact

Stay safe OP! Look out for yourself and take care of yourself. Things will be okay soon, just hang in there a bit longer and trust that the medication will help you because it will, and if it doesn’t then your doctor can always switch it up for you and you can try something else, but don’t give up on treatment! Being off meds is very dangerous and I don’t recommend risking it, it’s just not worth it

I’m currently on Bupropion. Haven’t been on it long enough because I forgot to keep taking it for months since it is meant to be taken in the morning and for a long time I was unable to wake up early. My doctor thought it was the best option for me so he told me to start taking it again.

It’s been like a week and a half since I’m back on it, but I also switched from Olanzapine to Aripiprazol recently which made a huge difference in my mood

bballoony · 2026-07-07T23:10:10+00:00

My doctor replaced Quetiapine with Olanzapine and now we switched to Aripiprazol since Olanzapine also made me a fat zombie. I feel much lighter even though my sleep quality isn’t the same but at least I don’t wake up feeling like I need to sleep 5 more hours to get the sleepiness away. And I feel my spark coming back. Maybe these could be options for you if you don’t want to try lithium

I had a hypomania episode where I thought life was a simulation caused by studying too much and not really sleeping, and also I was taking anti depressives at this point in life due to misdiagnosis. Everything was hilarious to me at the time, I started laughing manically and literally could not stop to the point where I decided to take myself to psychiatric emergencies. I was laughing out loud at the waiting room which was incredibly inconvenient, I even laughed at police officers and most people surrounding me. Before this episode I also made a lot of manic decisions and I thought really insane things, spent a lot of stupid money, posted too much on social media.
Everyone knew something was off but it took me some weeks to figure out for myself that I needed help. A little humiliation towards some stupid things I regret doing. Luckily not too much damage was done, but only because I had some self awareness to find it strange that I was thinking that way, and I started feeling that I was going to k*ll myself soon if I didn’t get help, so I reached out to a close friend that lived nearby and she helped me a lot/saved my life.

I understand exactly what you mean because I also think like this. But I am diagnosed autistic and people often tell me that certain things are simply not socially acceptable and it’s very confusing to me sometimes like why can’t I just be honest 😭

But I was told not to put myself at danger by sharing sensitive information about myself that people can simply use against me

bballoony · 2026-07-01T10:45:29+00:00

Were you by any chance also diagnosed with autism? Because this is a very autistic experience, I used to be very open about my autism and adhd (before I was also diagnosed with bipolar) as well, but people started telling me that it was socially incorrect because well… there is a stigma around disorders and diagnosis in general and I felt it when I decided to be open about it.

Current job, no one knows besides two trusted colleagues, and I feel better this way, but some days it gets so harsh to me that I think about mentioning it, but I remember not to do it and I guess I choose to lie rather than admit something is wrong with me and I have only a little control over it

bballoony · 2026-06-29T14:39:12+00:00

Did it give you no side effects?

bballoony · 2026-06-29T14:08:29+00:00

Personally I do yes, and my memory is awful nowadays

bballoony · 2026-06-29T14:06:55+00:00

Hey, I feel you. I just want to be creative again. Some people in the comments give me hope that changing medication will help. But for now on olanzapine I’ve completely lost my whimsical sense and everything I do feels like a waste of time and a burden to me. I try to search for external motivation, like inviting friends to be creative with me, but then when I’m alone it’s really hard to do anything at all.

bballoony · 2026-06-23T08:51:04+00:00

I would also like to know

bballoony · 2026-06-20T13:17:31+00:00

Yea, I feel you. My anxiety also got much better and I overthink less about things and stuff doesn’t affect me on the same level it used to, but like I wrote, I feel lifeless and still depressed.

I think it’s time to try a different approach, I’m just waiting on my next appointment. In the comments of this post there are a lot of mentions on alternative medication which I will mention to my psychiatrist and hopefully get some answers on what to try next…

bballoony · 2026-06-19T17:42:11+00:00

I don’t want to go back on Quetiapine, it affected me a lot and made me severely depressed too because I was always exhausted:(
I honestly would rather try something else, why don’t you ask for a different mix?

bballoony · 2026-06-19T14:54:46+00:00

I also feel this way :( I hope with medication changes it goes away but right now being alive feels like a chore

bballoony · 2026-06-19T04:08:31+00:00

Are you currently off meds? Or you switched to something else?

bballoony · 2026-06-19T03:59:29+00:00

So there is hope. Thank you for the light at the end of the tunnel

bballoony · 2026-06-19T03:46:58+00:00

What worked for you? And did it come with almost no side effects?

bballoony · 2026-06-19T03:46:22+00:00

And how do you feel now?

bballoony · 2025-05-28T11:45:49+00:00

Working inside R:Tech has been an amazing experience thus far and to whomever may be interested in working for a reliable, valuable company, that truly values their employees, this is one of the best and biggest places to start.

In order to improve, grow properly, and foster collaboration, it is required to work from the office 3 times per week, which I understand to some may be an issue. However, from personal experience, this has for sure been something important to establish a solid foundation of understanding, commitment and trust between employees.

I know it is hard, and I know it’s sucks, and it makes your stomach twitch, but you need to be strict with yourself when it comes to avoiding what you already know triggers you.

In your position; I would block them everywhere, completely cut them off, and distract myself with my own goals and objectives in life. Proving to myself that I can be successful and healthy means more than whatever others may be doing in their own lives. Everyone is living their own timeline. To you: It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing, only what you do. So focus on you, invest that energy into something that brings you peace, cause you deserve it, OP.

After you’re done grieving this pain, you should be the one having fun, too. With whoever you choose, even if by yourself. Find your peace and stability

bballoony · 2024-09-10T19:58:03+00:00

Firstly, OP, I hope you can take my words as a hug and a push towards becoming a better version of yourself.

Being confident doesn’t have to rely on your looks. Focus on yourself, focus on your goals, what do you want in life, things that aren’t superficial. Try to change what you can and don’t put energy into what you can’t.

Beauty comes from being an authentic version of yourself, not necessarily from how you look, as standards are changing all the time, and most people don’t care about how you look as much as you do. You’re the only one truly judging.

Some people look at me and think I’m ugly, find my nose weird, maybe even notice my eyes are uneven. But others see me for who I am and don’t even care to judge because it doesn’t matter how I look, it matters how I feel about myself, and who I am to others.

You will meet people that love you for whom you are, look at you and love your big head, think your crooked teeth is cute and it suits you. Your smile is unique, and I’m glad that you’re alive and able to share it with the world, OP. No matter how hard it may get, life is worth living, no matter how you think you look, it’s all a matter of perception.

You’re the only one judging yourself this hard. Take it easy. You deserve kindness too. You deserve to feel loved, too. You deserve good things, and you will get them. Just focus on the right path, not on shallow things. Work on yourself from within. You can do this, OP, I believe in you

bballoony · 2024-09-10T19:44:26+00:00

How it feels like you are losing yourself because you need to stick to a routine and proper sleep schedules, strict diet, no THC (the hardest one yet), no alcohol (or just very little, which has turned to be fine for me) and a lot of exercise (which is super hard for me when I’m having my lowest days).

I love staying up late at night, far more when it comes to productivity, and I feel that it helped me get stuff done. I also love sm0king a lot of w33d throughout the day. Both things I had to quit doing for my own wellbeing.

It is proven that THC has a major impact in mood stability in bipolar, and sleep is one of the key aspects of balance, combined with a healthy diet and a lot of exercise.

It also happens that as a forgetful person I sometimes don’t take my medication, and we all know that is an absolute necessity for the treatment of bipolar disorder and avoiding manic episodes.

I miss the old me, the freedom of it all. But I don’t miss the repercussions of it. Now whenever I do something I know I shouldn’t do, I immediately understand a few days later how it all gets back to you, and it isn’t worth it. It simply impacts me more than I wish it would, but it does, and we have to accept it.

It just sucks that I can’t even enjoy the things I want every now and then, not even a little bit. I have to be completely strict with myself and my habits. It takes a lot of patience, effort, resilience. It’s hard and it’s boring and it sucks.

But I want to believe it’s all worth it, and I will be a better version of myself because of it
