I can see what you mean.I have just recently been put on these pills for possibly the same thing as you.I was taking cipralex(escitalipram) but stop taking it.Then came the psychosis after a weed relapse.This kind of medication should only be a short term solution.I'm hoping that when I stop this olanzapine I will start the cipralex.I've heard alot about the dangers of these things.I don t want to develope diabetes im only 27.good luck man.stay clear of weed etc..

Not only do they not work, they cause often irreversible damage to the brain that causes a shit load of other more serious mental and neurological problems and are responsible for a 4 fourfold increase in people receiving government disability in the U.S. since 1987 when these drugs started becoming the standard treatment.

@tvbop I live th esame life. I was fine before, but after a while I would layin bed crying all day. Now I layin bed all day crying. So sad. Given up on life! I was gonna have a family and all but now I have given up on everything. And I can´t remember my mom or dad or friends. I can´t feel them.

I also would like to comment on that the drugs dont change you as a person only alter your mental state, example had a girl friend while on these drugs was doing fine, but obviously i wasnt mature enough to handle a relationship and hurts someones feelings, all i can say is that the feeling good is one thing but compitance is another.
I did smoke some weed recently and did find it enjoyable was very relaxing, no relapse
Hope your doing OK mate.
Hope all is well

Dont take the social drugs, to stay off the doctors ones. Please realize the cause, treat it, this is the important thing. AND do not lie to people who are trying to help you. Thank you for sharing this video, suggest all watch to the end for the good advice. The medication is essential to start with, to get over the "crazies" but, best clean up your act, and get off all of them.

Psychiatry is the profession that I have the least respect for. They really are an anachronism.

Sounds like you're a very honest person who has some great things going for you. I hope you can find a doctor out there who would listen to YOU & not just write another script! It's almost like you go to a doctor & he gives you a Rx for help. Pills aren't made to fix all of the ills of mankind. I've never been on psych drugs, but I do know this-- doctors are practicing medicine & they don't know it all. They make mistakes all the time! All the best to you & I hope you real find help soon!

I agree with you! My lover of 14 years is a paranoid schizophrenic and was on meds that absolutely didn't work - he would lie in bed all day crying in between suicide attempts - and NOT ONE DOCTOR WOULD TELL US HOW TO GET HIM OFF THE CRAP! We finally did, and now he is much better - these meds are only to make you so incapacitated that you can't annoy anyone.

I was forced to take 10mg of olanzapine under a section for 4months and now I cannot come off it, I have tried to come off and just can't do it, I find I can't think straight and I start losing touch with reality. I did not actually have psychosis when I was forced to take olanzapine but had a really bad headache which drove me "bananas".
Thanks for the informative video
