No I think it’s Bad for you since u also don’t hear voices.

It makes that you get more hungry and in ur case you will get obese . For me it doesn’t matter cuz I get hunger surpression from the adhd meds.

But for sure imma slide some

For sleep tho?

For sleep tho?

For sleep an orexin antagonist is better than meds for schizos

 

[polio]

yeah I have, I've been taking it since 2013.

It makes you more detached, it used to help me sleep but nowadays not that much. They change your hormones and fat distribution. Reduces strong emotions. I will start probably a withdrawal soon from it. And try to get an orexin antagonist for sleep instead

I think olanzapine makes me a bit less obsessive in general. But I want to max out my brain now so withdrawal is mandatory

This shit reduces IQ somewhat.

edit: about hunger, it makes me a foodie or a food addict but I exercice for hours everyday so I weigh less than a teenage girl
my mental strenght is pretty strong so I can burn a ton of calories everyday with cardio, so I'm not affected by weight gain but normal people generally get obese with this shit over time

Yeah the hunger thing doesnt concern me I eat 1 meal a day with it due to my adhd meds i have 0 hunger

I don't know the exact process but when I say it changes your hormones I mean it lowers testosterone for example. (by increasing prolactin or some shit, it's real)
yeah if you don't eat too much you won't get fat, even though olanzapine can reduce metabolism so you will burn a bit less calories naturally, depends of your olanzapine dosage too.

withdrawal for me is because I have hobbies in my life and I need to max out my brain to invest into them and be as competent as possible. I already ditched my antidepressant so next will be the antipsychotic.

about IQ there are studies that show that it reduces grey matter in the brain or some shit, you can find them on google, it's true

I'm not saying it's a terrible drug, I think it helps for some people as it has done for me. If I can live with a better med like daridorexant for example It would be beneficial for my everyday life.

Maybe I won't complete the withdrawal I'm not sure yet, maybe I need olanzapine for life

It shrinks the brain and some studies say your brain doesn’t recover from it and is permanently damaged even after you stop taking it

Your right

but why does it then enhance cognital function?

and here it says smth else

Okay so the study saying that it may increase white and grey matter is from 2007 and the one that says that it is bad for your brain is from 2018

It enhances it because you stop being a shizo but you still lose up to 20% of the brain.
