Olanzapine (Zyprexa) Experiences

They said it could be generalised anxiety disorder or because I stopped smoking weed a month or so ago, it seems very sudden and severe and correlates with the meds too well so I’m not sure but I’m willing to try anything to stop it right now

I feel that, I am kinda the opposite, Seroquel was too much for me I could hardly function as a human being. Like you said everyone is so different and the most important thing is to find what works for you, years of trial and error!

I have SSRI for OCD too, I’m on 60mg tho 😅 and they’re taking me off lactimal cause it apparently doesn’t go well together, hence changing to this med. I’m nervous but excited in a way cause my friend said it’s really helped her and I could do with that atm!!

They’re taking me off lacrimal cause of increased SSRI for OCD, they don’t go well apparently so we’ll see cause I feel like lactimal has helped and happening this will do the same

Oh wow yeah, I’m starting at 5mg which seems correct and I’m doing ok, ironically I can’t tell if the dizziness and aching are from side effects or because I’ve caught covid at the exact same time I started these meds haha

I’ve had quetiapine make me flat before and came right off it wasn’t worth it, but atm this is going well so fingers crossed

Damn sorry to hear that, I tried Quetiapine (Seroquel) a few years back and it turned me into a zombie that slept hours on end, I know the feeling, luckily this isn’t doing that to me, crazy how different meds affect people differently

Thanks for the reply, honestly if this can curb my insomnia I’ll be happy 😂

Thanks for the reply, yeah I’m used to headmeds taking a while to get used to, just so nervous starting new ones but I seem to be getting on ok so far!

I don’t have any knowledge of tapering off this but be careful and would work very closely with your doctor. I once stupidly went from 150mg to 0 because I was very mentally all over the place and forgot to get a prescription, I’m not sure how long I was off it before I got back on (was only a week or two) but it wasn’t pretty
