I reduced my olanzapine from 10mg to 5 mg a few months ago, maybe a year or so ago. It made me so depressed, but when i was on 10mg, it put me to sleep for 14 hours a day, which was excessive. When I was on the 5mg, I kept waking up through the night. I got really really really depressed when i reduced the dose to 5mg.
Now I am on 7.5mg and i’ve been on that for one dose. I hope it helps with both the sleep and the depression.
ugh. Life is so fucking pointless. I don’t get so many things. I don’t understand money. I don’t understand jobs. I don’t understand society. I DON’T GET THE POINT OF IT ALL. WTF. Is that an autie and/or adhd thing? or am i just a dumb shit?
it ain’t as great as it sounds. The reason why I’m on such a high dose is because for 15 or so years, I didn’t sleep very much at all. Nothing they tried worked. I was literally sleeping 3-4 hours a WEEK. it was intense. I’m pretty sure, among other reasons, why I’m so much an idiot is because i got some serious brain damage from not sleeping for so long.
anyway, sleeping 14-16 hours a day ain’t great. I was literally sleeping my life away. I was sleeping more than half of my day.
