They’re making me so dopey. I found an article about how AP cause a reduction in brain matter, so now I am determined to get off the AP.

I tried coming off them recently, and almost immediately stopped sleeping. So I’m going to try phenergan to help with sleep.

I don’t really know why I’m typing this. I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Thanks for reading :)

    I take olanzapine mostly for sleep. Plus it makes me depressed as fuck taking it.

      it’s pretty rough to get off of antipsychotics and SSRIs. there’s usually this 2-3 week period of adjustment where you don’t sleep well, the depression kicks in pretty hard, and sometimes you even feel sick/nauseous for most of that period. obviously everyone is different, but I hated how AP and SSRIs made me feel so stopped them completely even though it sucked to do. whatever you do just be careful, it’s easy for the lows to feel much worse at times when coming off them
