This is going to sound really stupid because I'm pretty sure I've posted before about how much I hated Olanzapine
It's only now that I'm off it I realise how much it helped me
It did sod all for the voices and the pychosis,it worked at first but then seemed to stop (thats the reason I got took off it), my doc kept on upping the dose, I started on 7.5mg and ended up on 17.5mg, it still didn't do much to help the voices.
I'm on Quetiapine now (which is also starting to not work on the voices)
When I was on the higher dose of Olanzapine even though it didn't help much with the pychosis it did
wonders for my depression and SI and anxiety.
I don't know, maybe it was because I was so sedated or something
but I actually managed to stop SI'ing for over two months.
I just didn't have the urges anymore.
I hardly ever felt anxious, I was like a totally mellow person.
It was like I had a personality transplant.
Ever since I've come off it, my depression has been worse than I've ever had it (I've already tried to kill myself a few times)
I've been so
so low. My anxiety has been truely awful.
I'm having panic attacks and everything, and I've started SI'ing again.
Everything has gone to hell really.
I've told my pych all of this and she has increased my AD which is supposed to help with the anxiety and depression, but It's really not the same as the Olanzapine
Off the subject, the Olanzapine worked on the pychosis for a while, then it seemed to stop working, I would get it increased, it would work for a while, then it would stop working. This went on and on until she increased it to 17.5mg, and then it stopped working again.
Thats the reason I got put on the Quetiapine, that worked fine for while but now that seems to be stopping working too
Why is this happening to me? Why do they work, then stop working?
