UA-cam video about woman talking about her Zyprexa withdrawals/sleep disturbances: • My Olanzapine antipsyc...
This was prescribed to my mother. She started stuttering and had other horrible side effects when she started taking it. Didn't live very long after that. I can't believe how little benefit compared to risk for so many prescription drugs. Our system is so corrupt.
Thank you for making this video. Some psychiatrists really do throw around this medication like candy - I was prescribed 2.5-5mg of Olanzapine at 13 years old for insomnia! Not for severe psychosis, but freaking insomnia, which could have been alleviated with far safer alternatives. I despised the drug and was pressured by everyone around me into taking it for years (only managed to taper myself off it in late 2022, after 5 years - the withdrawal was painful). Sure, it helped me sleep, but it also prompted me to start seriously restricting my food intake after spontaneously gaining 5kgs in two weeks. I wasn't given informed consent about the side effects at all, and as a young teen, didn't attribute my rapid weight gain to the drug. Really wish that medication was used as a last resort, instead of the first...Anyway, love your content 👍
Sue them..
Weight gain and diabetes are well known side effects written in every packet,you cannot sue.
Woah.....that's unbelievable . In your case much lighter over the counter natural sleep medication would've been available.
Compliments you managed to get off it. As a 72 year old my appetite increased after just two days of 2.5 mg dose.
Although at least in my case it's prescribed for a light psychosis.
freaking benzodiazepine would have been safer to take for insomnia but because benzos are so demonized nowadays of course they are going to throw you antidepressants and antipsychotics together combined hell no, I already knew what this guy was saying beforehand with my medical experience as well I already knew about this medication and its origins, my psychiatrist doesn't give a damn in a lot of them don't nowadays
I went from 75 kilo 3pack gut to a 125kilo gut
I took it for 8 weeks..... Awful awful stuff..... A dream for the ruling class who often talk about depopulation
I am a nurse, and I'm also diagnosed bipolar 1. Thank you for sharing this. I truly appreciate your thoughtful perspective
You paid to be told how to think.
@@user-qn2tz9qd7t what? Lol.
Have they given you an actual test or a brain scan or a chemical imbalance test? I doubt it they make these haphazard guesses and it’s all a ploy to prescribe drugs that affect dopamine and therefore cause a chemical imbalance! Please don’t believe everything they’ve told you if your depressed or sad it could be vitamin deficiencies or lack of vit D not enough sun or nature or as with many who were being abused it’s a normal reaction nonstop like these will ever cure the abuse but do allow the abusers to continue it and the victims can’t think straight or defend themselves that’s even more worrying when victims get re victimised by the systems they turn to for help! Hope your ok is get a sensitivity hair test see if you’ve got any food allergies as well I had two autoimmune disorders and 100 food allergies I was maliciously poisoned having heart crisis the hospital ignored it all! I had to pay for private tests to get to the bottom of all my physical health issues! Stay strong just please don’t believe everything a psychiatrist tells you they’re on repeat it’s all they learned and their limited knowledge is dangerous when they’re giving drugs over legal doses most of them won’t know half of what this guy does about the drugs they prescribe!
You're a RIOT, loved the intro and overall i like how well you mix facts in your videos with a lot of humor in a perfect timed manner. New to the channel and I'm so happy to have found my way here.
well thx brother, I appreciate it, and happy to have you on board!
Dude, you rock. Never stop what you are doing. I am so grateful for your channel.
At first I started with Aripiprazol and it felt like I was having a stroke. My heart rate was over 100 bpm for hours and I lost some feeling in my feet, hands, and shoulders. Then I was put on zyprexa with benzotropine, and while tired for the first week, it made the agitation and anger subside significantly. Then after a week I went off the benzotropine and only take zyprexa at night. It’s helped me get a really good night’s rest and now I can actually wake up around 9am in the morning and have an energetic and productive day, something rarely ever possible before. My doctor gave me permission to up my dose to 10mg per day, but I elected to stay at 5mg because I believe having as little dependency on medication as possible. After a month of taking Zyprexa, I can say it was the right medicine for me, and I am very grateful for it.
What a great story, thanks for sharing RIley, glad Zyprexa is working out for you! :)
Blessings to you my friend. Be well. Be safe. ❤
May we have an update and how old you are please. I have a family member who has been put on this medication

Thank you this gives hope to so many people
Subscribed within 30 seconds of watching man, you’re awesome
Just got prescribed for insomnia/sleep
I have depression/anxiety only, wanted some information before I put this drug in my body...
*1st thing I find is huge class action lawsuit
*2nd Side effects- can cause tachycardia, stroke, diabetes, weight gain 🤯 (I have tachycardia & heart issues going to see cardiologist) & want to avoid those.
*3rd I found your video😬😳💚
Finally, someone with the facts, knows what they're talking about & willing to talk about it.
Phew! Feel like I've dodged another nightmare of a drug experiment. I've tried so many meds all with terrible side effects & I'm done with "let's try this". I've made my decision to try something else.
Sending a big massive
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

You need Gaba. Go buy it at a health food store . And b1
Zyprexa is not FDA approved for "sleep", your doctor is likely not telling you the exact reasons he prescribed them.
I was put on 20mgs as an adjunct to SSRIs for major depression to help treat the anhedonia that I was experiencing as a leftover negative side effect from treatment resistant atypical depression. It made me gain weight, get prediabetes, completely changed my body's physical profile and metabolic functioning permanently and I still struggle with high blood twenty five years later. I was put on Seroquel after that, 1000mgs for 11 years and it was slightly better - I no longer ate until I threw up and then would eat some more, sometimes as much as 12,000 calorie binges in a few hours I felt so starved and hungry, and the Seroquel, even though milder also damaged my metabolic system, too. Atypical antipsychotics are not good drugs unless there's no other choice or way to improve serious symptoms. Thank you for posting this video - people need to be warned about this...
Thank you for this I’ve been wanting to know for a while
Thank you for such an informative video!
Took it for 18 months, quitting took me about 5 attempts! I was prescribed willy-nilly, and one doctor even offered to prescribe it to me 15 years later just to get over the hump of my depression! I told her she was insane to recommend it again to "get over the hump"! She is a nice doctor and I liked her, but she has no idea!
I get sick and horrible pain and fear when i try and go off it
It is not necessary to take more than 5 mg a day, it does works 😊
my mum was on zyprexa for just under a decade that i'm aware of, it caused her to gain weight very fast and in an unhealthy manner. plus the tardive dyskinesia and catatonic movements really impacted her quality of life. i wish she never had to live like that and had been able to try something more stable. also, good research and quality video, liked the funny theatrical intro at end :)
Sorry to hear about your mom :(.
I kinda thought my intro was too long so i took the part out and just left it for an outro lol
i have td now from olanzapine forced injection. and seizures. im sad. i just keep on going. i should have died. i had post injection delerium sedation syndrome and started to go into hypothermia and unconsciously escaped restraints so they injected me with a mega dose of benadryl cuz i was tripping on overdose olanzapine aka zyprexa. God bless you and your momma. Healing to her.
Woke up from a long sleep. He yawned, stretched, and at last opened his eyes completely. For two minutes, however, he lay in his bed without moving, as though he were not yet quite certain whether he were awake or still asleep, whether all that was going on around him were real and actual, or the continuation of his confused dreams.
Thank you, for being honest.
Thanks for making this video you rock 🎉
I've been on zyprexa for 15 years now and I've gained about 120 pounds over this period and I sleep more than I'm awake, but all my manias, depressions, psychosis, delusions are gone (I'm bipolar I with schizoaffective elements). I truly dislike the side effects but I choose to stick with zyprexa because I dislike the person that I was without it even more. However I totally understand people that choose not to take it, you do you. Thanks for very informative video, wishing everyone here good health.
Thank you for sharing your experience and glad Zyprexa cleared up your symptoms! Am curious: do you ever try and ever-so-slightly decrease the amount of Zyprexa your taking? What's your experience with this? Thx :)
@@A_Psych_Nurse Here's the thing, I'm already at relatively low maintenance dose of 7,5 mg/day and, even though my psychiatrist did suggest I try 5 mg/day, I feel like, given my weight, it might be too low of a dose to risk it. I will bring it up for discussion next time I go to an appointment though. Thanks for the info :)
Use less as possible
Pro tip from me
@@theowink I will definitely consider it, thank you, appreciate the tip. But I'll share one more thing, when I was hospitalized 15 years ago, I remember there was a guy there that was very obese, sort of like me now, and he was on 5mg of zyprexa for 5 years. He didn't share why he was hospitalized but he just said that he was causing problems. That's the main reason why I don't drop to 5 mg, but I should be going to my psych control soon and I'll bring it up, thanks again.
I can relate to this.
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! I told this nurse practitioner I need ADHD meds not horse tranqulizer.
Same here
Hello! :) I can't believe that back in 2020 I was prescribed in the hospital this devil. I felt hungry all the time, very fast I gain weight, my thinking was almost gone and I talked very little. Then a year I used Arripiprazole, which made me afraid of driving and then I liked some person, who usually I don't like... And cherry on top - I get anxiety and fear of seeing that person. Then I said to my psychiatrics that she prescribe me SSRI, and she did. Thank God, they're helping me. Then I was one day on Quetiapine and my heart pulse was very fast. I was in hospital in 2021, psychiatrics gave me Risperidon. Trash also. And now I'm on Haloperidol. Want to taper off, because I'm not very happy how I look - I need to lose some kg.
Risperidone garbage
Forced treatment must be abolished
Our healthcare system and our mental hospitals are so corrupt, the disability pensions with these drugs are dangerously high. These drugs should be taken with more caution compared to how their used now
alternative being....?
No forced treatment...
Instead of force treatment being first option they should see if the patient would prefer to be studied and off meds for their life but if they won't let them off meds and in the community then that's the patient's choice

That is a brilliant description of the drug and i must say that piece of alliteration was by far the best ive ever heard!!

You should be a professor. I could listen to you lecture all day.
According to the US Department of Justice, Eli Lilly paid one of the largest corporate fines in history. The pharmaceutical giant pleaded guilty to illegally promoting Zyprexa in ways not approved by the FDA. Eli Lilly had to pay $515 million, which is the largest amount ever paid out in a healthcare case.
pretty crazy, huh? I want to say they've paid close to a billion, but could be wrong
@@A_Psych_Nurse yeah. wheres mine hahahaha 🤓🌼
Subscribed. I take Olanzapine for extreme anxiety. Benzo's are no option since they do the opposite of what they're supposed to do. It is an absolute anxiety killer, but at a high price. 10 years ago I was athletic. Now I'm obese and a lot of my creativity is gone. That makes my job as a musician very tough. I managed to go down from 10mg to 5 mg and I'm doing fine on it. I don't have the zombie feeling I had at 10 mg. But it does make me feel indifferent. Note: I also take venlafaxine. I know the risks and I'm not happy with it, but I never want to go back to that extreme, constant anxiety that feels like you can die any moment...
❤️ Your channel by the way. You are one cool nurse 👍
thanks brother, always appreciative of your continued support :)
I've been taking Olanzapine 10mg daily for 26 years and I'm still here. Tried to come off it once without much tapering but became psychotic after two to three months, that was about 16 years ago. I went back on it and was back to normal again. I'm waiting for the long term side effects to come or not.
Zyperxa is but an instant. There's nothing new, nothing different; same pattern over and over. The same clouds, same music, the same things I felt an hour or an eternity ago. There's nothing here for me now, nothing at all. Now I remember, this happened to me before. This is why I left. You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible knowing that it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, filled with joy and sorrow and laughter, empathy, compassion, and tote the emotional memory in your travel bag. I remember where I came from, and how I became human, why I hung around, and now my final departure's scheduled. This way out, escaping velocity. Not just eternity, but Infinity.
Is it good or bad
@@LovRona bad
I have a friend that is still trying to figure out why his sleep isn't back to normal, almost 4 years after quitting Zyprexa. He says that without sleeping meds now he can't sleep more than 2 hours at a time.
I think u can take black seed chamomile tea
i second angelstinson on the tea--also indica marijuana works for me at 5-10mg at bedtime! (don't tell anyone =/)
@@A_Psych_Nurse lol i was about to say this.
Sounds like a classic “treating primary insomnia with antipsychotics”. if you don’t have an illness of the brain, do not take antipsychotics. Just tell him to get off it all for a month or two. the body will heal itself, it’s meant to. sleep is a bodily function, not a psychological one.
@@A_Psych_Nurse love non-psychoactive thc
Love this!! I wish I saw this 5 years ago!! I was put on an initial dose of 20mgs!! My life became hell!!
I take Zyprexa and without it I would be a wreck in the hospital. I also have friends in group that take it.
I also take this medicin, i cannot without,
The thing is it's really, really hard to get off of.
Thanks a lot !
When i was a kid, me and my friends had a severe drug addiction. I quit everything even cigarettes but i had a paranoid psychose they put me in mental hospital
then they gave me 10mg Zyprexa velotab. I personally loved the medication cuz i could never sleep (also autism) now i take 5mg Zyprexa in total i use for 21yrs now.Me and my doctor know it's not healthy but i can't live without. I never used drugs anymore and almost never alcohol anylonger.I know, my life is not gonna last long but its also has benefits. I sleep good and that's beneficial for me.(ppl with autism sleep very bad) thx for the video
thankyou i agree with you wholeheartedly....from experience
I tapered off my meds down to 2.5mg zyprexa for a safety net, haven't had my usual yearly mania this year and it keeps me from stopping because side effects arent as bad
Use Olanzapine for schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. Still have some psychotic symptoms here and there and the depression still comes and goes but the mania is managed fairly well.
But the weight gain is immense
I weight like 75-80kg before I took it... I had a athletic body
Now I weigh 95kg, look puffy etc
If I forget to take it or if I want to drink alcohol and skip it one time I get very very bad withdrawal symptoms like crippling insomnia, sweating etc
my 22 yr old daughter was prescribed 35mg im slowly tapering her off, now on 20mg I can't keep her on this she's not herself 😩 she looks like shes high on street drugs, aside of her dad taking her our for walks, we do t take her in public at the moment.
Sorry to hear :(. Good luck w/ the tapering, please keep us posted on how it goes as it's valuable information for us all.
this is worse than street drugs. get her on cbd oil immediately... lazarus naturals organic hemp oil cbd saved my life from olanzapine ak zyprexa
taper off VERY INCREMENTALLY. VERY especially at the end
coming off thienobenzos and benzos is WORSE THAN heron withdrawls...... its worse. THERAPY SUPPORT HERBS LIVER KIDNEYS HEART BRAIN OVARIES and metabolic issues all need support and assessment ♥️💛💚
When I was on this antipsychotic, I only knew it as Olanzapine. I think this is the one I used to get shot into my butt cheeks. It didn't do anything for me except make me feel shaky and the world around me shaky. I couldn't distinguish what was meds side-effects or what was the schizophrenia. The insomnia and nightmares that had me waking up in cold sweats, I don't miss those days. Sounds contradictory, having insomnia and nightmares, but it's a real thing. You'll go long periods of sleeplessness, and when you do fall asleep (you're freaking dead tired by now), it won't be for long, only a few minutes, maybe, but I remember lying on a slaughtering table in hell and the demons were trying to hold down my kicking feet. Let's just say, I woke up and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to sleep.
That happened probably because I stopped meds cold turkey. Still, I didn't know what was side-effects or illness because they were so close in their presentation, and the demons would tell me these things were their doing. I also was never warned about any side-effects, but i suppose i was so freaking gone they didn't think i would understand anyway. But more on the insomia, I was told by the angels to stay awake because I'd die in my sleep through witchcraft, so then that also made me want to stay up.
The meds I remember being on were risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine. I only know those because they were the ones I was on the longest. Risperidone was the last one I took. It was a small pink pill that melted on my tongue. I stopped it after driving one day (had made considerable progress by this time) and then pulled my parking brake, thinking I was still parked. I was shocked after being freaked out by the loud screeching noise. I made it home without any accidents and went, and for the first time being on antipsychotics, I looked at the side effects. I read through the list and came up to the words, "may cause confusion." I laughed at the absurdity. To think I was living in a confused world, and the medicine that was supposed to be helping me has a side effect of confusion, the vary thing i was struggling with. I had to laugh. I never touched it or any other antipsychotic again and never experienced such confusion while on the road again. I'm not against meds, but they just weren't for me. I found my own way through and beyond schizophrenia.
Beautiful comment, thank you for sharing my friend.
you should read my hosp file about my force im injection against my declared religion.. overdose amount. mixed with haloperidol benadryl and diazepam all together... they nearly killed me no lie. so good right! haha now i have TD neuro symptoms anhedonia seizures tremors and sometimes i cant walk.
i use cbd. saved my life.
I would love to hear your story
Its an interesting thing as a patient with schizophrenia symptoms and often prescribed Zyprexa. I have been basically vocal about how the drug is actually only safe for episodes for myself at least and the doctor and my family basically cant wrap their head around the concept out of the fear of me not taking meds I need, essentially.
It has helped but also has had some major negatives, especially with kind of an endless prescription. There seems like a disconnect between my doctor acknowledging my ability to understand the disease and consider my position on avoiding meds despite the seriousness of the illness.
Anyway thanks for the video, this message basically should be more common knowledge for doctors it seems. I had to kind of take the liberty to deal with my issues with minimal medication and its basically going well, even though the Doctor still insists 10mg zyprexa is the way to go.
Its more an exception that meds can be avoided, but unfortunately it seems not an option for many psychiatrists. Understandable because its not easy to always avoid heavy medication, but for my own sense of general awareness ive noticed a distrust i guess regarding respecting my autonomy on meds.
Nice information Video due to Olanzapin, i would not take it within 24 hours with other drugs and overuse drugs, and zyprexa does kill psychosys for a peroid of time and this is what you aim for, for an period
Im on paliperidone and ive gotten the lack og emotion effects, i can request medicine change which antipsychotic do you reccomend I take for no lack of emotion? I havent gained weight or gotten any other side effects worth noting other than the anhedonia and was wondering if i can have some input on this
I got prescribed this drug to treat my insomnia. After taking it, I could sleep just fine, but then I'd feel like a zombie for the rest of the day, and being home all day long would eventually cause me to overthink and feel really anxious. I couldn't even go out for a walk because I felt as if my body was anchored to my bed. I would even get very argumentative with my parents, I was very irritable. My doctor told me to stop taking it but told me to do it gradually because of the withdrawal syntoms. I hope I'll be okay, this drug is horrible.
Its for psychose , 5 mg is enough ,
Thanks! you're so smart 🤓just now prescribed me olanzapine 2.5 in the morning 5mg at night
I stopped with zyprexa and was sick again, now i take 5 mg a day, 😅
Zyprexa is a madman who sits on the shore, morphs into a flamingo, and flys off into the sunset without a care in the world.
I have been dealing with anxiety attacks and depression for approximately three years. Over the past two years, I have been trying different antidepressants without much success. Recently, my psychiatrist suggested that I might have bipolar disorder, although I disagree with this diagnosis. He prescribed me Zyprexa, but after conducting research and watching your video, I am strongly against taking it (I haven't started yet). Furthermore, I am concerned that the antidepressant (Zoloft) and antianxiety (Buspar) medications I am currently taking are not providing significant relief. I am exhausted from constantly switching medications every three to four months when they lose effectiveness. I am seriously questioning whether it is beneficial for me to continue taking all these medications. Although they help reduce the frequency of my attacks, my anxiety always returns, and I continue to experience depression. I am contemplating gradually stopping all medication.
try 2.5 mg before you go to Bed, and see what happen to you in 2/3 days, maybe it will help, i had the same Story like You, and 2.5mg Olanzapine, changed my Life, after years i feel Normal, normal thinking, no anxiety/Panic, normal feeling, and just feeling fine in my skin
@@nenadcubric2663Hello,
Please for how long did you take olanzapine ? Are you still on it after years or did you stop taking it at some point?
it works great once you get uses to it but if you take it as long as I have you won't be able to get off of it, I been taking it for over to years it will drive you out of your mind if you try to get off of it no matter how you try it, it increases your emotions 100% when I try to stop taking it you will never be the same again
@@bokings9448Im off of it for 11 days already. tapering it 3 times during 2 months, it finally worked and I can sleep. Been taking it 5mg around 3 weeks, pls tell me withdrawal symptoms will go away, don't tell me I will never be the same again
The truth is Zyprexa is the name brand for olanzapine. It is a thienobenzodiazepine structurally similar to Xanax and Ativan which are also "brand names" for benzodiazepines. I've been on 1.25 mg Zyprexa since April 1997. Zyprexa helps me sleep. I can't take the random generic olanzapine with different shapes and sizes.
Even I have trouble pronouncing the words used to describe antipsychotics. Why take something a four year old can't pronounce?
it increases your emotions 100% when I try to stop taking it you will never be the same again
What do you mean, anger issues?
@@sebastianliwinski222 I had lots of strong fear when i went off it, like fear just rising up for no reason
@@mikelisteral7863was it shaking?
The amount of time someone proposed me to take zyprexa in the last month is kind of insane 😂
This is great. Olanzipine worded for me once, to come down off a manic bender. it wasn't comfortable but it worked. then I got switched to the letter q one quintipine? anywaysn that one gave me a sezure on the second day so I stopped in that.. now I'm divalproex for the last 5 yrs,. im doing so well anymore and I've been prescribed aripiprisol? (abilify) but im scared to start taking it. after the sezuire the shink said to avoid the whole class of antopsocics un less we were trying to bring me down off a hard trip again. and like you said, heavy dose and a 30 hr nap works wonders for us crazy people/ what im getting at is that it works in the hard and fast method you described.
would you try a different antipsythioc if the last one gave you a seizure? a scary one where i could not speak correctly for a couple hours after
Dan thx for your comment. They all cause seizures and perhaps some more than others :(. Usually they prescribe an anti-seizure med + antipsychotic--are you any anti seizure meds? (keppra, tegretol, etc?)
I also take Zyprexa and I feel numb.why does my psychiatrist prescribed this med if I'm not psychotic or irritable?I mostly struggle with depression
zyprexa can also be used for the treatment of depression
I was the same, in 1998 I was prescribed it for treatment resistant depression. I took it for 18 months and it was so hard to quit; took me about 5 attempts. This was before the internet so I did not understand what withdrawal was, I would always get to day 3 and then could not take it anymore so had to take my dose. IT was 6 months of wierd symptoms, and think I still have symptoms in my brain from it! If u can, try to find some other way or meds for ur depression!
Bravo 👏

Amazing content.
hah! thanks :). i feel like this is one of my better vids
hey Pych nurse could i ask you a question? I was prescribed 10mg zyprexa in 1998 and forced to take it until 2017...when i began tapering. i have been on 2.5mg for nearly 3 years now...i was diagnosed with schizo effective disorder....on large amounts i hallucinated everyday...since being on 2.5mg i very rarely do! my question is...if i was really schizo and needed large amounts of this drug...why is it i am healthier than i have ever been than on the large amount of med? the only reason i cannot reduce it anymore than 2.5mg is because i cannot sleep...not because of psychotic issues...
Hey, I'm not a doctor and not a nurse, but it seems that this is a right dose to you. I'm on Haloperidol 1,5mg., two tablets per day and I also not experiencing hallucinations.
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but Zyprexa is that times a thousand.
when they left me isolated and veiled with a ritualistic spit guard, restrained and alone in a locked room.. thats when a large frog came out of the wall and next to my bed and it wanted my eggs, it had lipstick on and wanted me to kiss it so that it would turn into a man. i declined. so he knocked me out took my eggs and left back into the wall. that was trip number one.......
can you tell me more... i can share more hallucinations haaaa ack..
@@JCRastafarinoooooo not yer eggs!
After just two days of 2,5 mg my appetite increased....I've got no desire to, like most people , put on weight. I'm 72 .
I'd rather use 1mg Lorazepam every three days against my stress headaches. Which helps also.
I'm watching my son forsee on 10 mg today hes never had any prescription drugs before he has pysocosis so hes getting sleep after none last night any suggestions as I'm advocating hard for him to be as little as possible any comments please
People can be appearing to talk to themselves when in reality they are thinking out loud.
I do this myself not so much because i think someone is their but it helps me focus better.
So when people are doing this it may be something someone does to help them focus.
For someone that has a mostly quite mind most of the time if i don't think out loud i can lose track of what i am doing.
Most of the time i am absent minded other times i am very smart on some subjects.
Honestly my advice is if it is not hurting anyone just because people may see it as weird does not mean it need's fixing.
Some thing's may be strange to other people but at the same time could be beneficial to the person doing it.
Honestly every quirk does not need fixing 😅
exactly ^ ^. I talk outloud so much to myself (some of the best conversations i've had, well, nvm. . .;). Not to mention obnoxious singing. Guaranteed if i behaved the way i do at home inside a mental hospital i'd either be attacked by my peers or given involuntary meds x D
@@A_Psych_Nurse My niece is bad about the singing out loud but she is good at it.
With me it's just thinking out loud and is a strange quirk.
@@A_Psych_Nurse Also it's bad that something that harm's no one can get you attacked or forced medicated for.
This is one thing about society that to me is primative.
I was taking; 100-400mg, A day of :Quietapine," and I woke up in a mental hospital in OKC, and I saw the night nurses give "4 shots" of something to a very big strong woman. The women finally calmed down after about 15 minutes. (She was almost naked by the time the shots were given.)😮 I would remain in The ICU for another 42 days!!! I had no idea, that my Dr. would give such an appropriate medication for "anxiety," and it did that to my body. I would stay on Seraquil for another 7 years!!! I stopped taking them in 2021. I have had the bed sores, CKD, and nerve atrophy. I still take 6mg of Xanax a day, and I have a hard time getting them refilled? Yes, I have stopped both medications, to see which one was the problem. It was Seraquil.
The talking to oneself part he mentioned in 22:40, is that a common symptom of schizophrenia or other mental disorders? I don't talk but I whisper to myself at times and have conversations in my head. I have done this for years and it used to be just conversations in my head. However, now I do zone out and whisper to myself at moments of the day. I have tried to stop and was able to for a few weeks but it just comes back whether I want it to or not. What could be wrong with me? I'm afraid to tell psychiatrists this because I was over medicated about two years ago. Was given 5 medications at once and was told that they shouldn't have been mixed together like that. Now I feel my brain isn't the same, like I don't have my intelligence anymore and my memory is bad.
a huge part of schizophrenia is delusions, so my guess would be that this is some sort of self stimulation if it's not like talking to somebody else
So i switched from risperidone to Seroquel to zyprexa , to latuda. And omg i hated sll three and like latuda works so well for me and it dont even treat anxiety, Asperger's syndrome, ocd, intrusive thoughts or anything kiek that i actually have lol. But i havnt had a bad episode since latuda, no bad side effects except the feeling tired and glucose being off, verses what sedation/nausea/twitches that risperidone did to me i like latuda lol. But ill have to take another med with latuda eventually .
Great video...honest !! Urgently need advice...took 15 mg of zyprexa for 3 or 4 years then 10 mg for 1 year and the last 4 or 5 years 10mg 2 or 3 times a week. For the couple of years unexplained rash hives... can last up to a month ..then ok for 3 or 4 months.. currently on anti histamines.... anyone else similiar?? Any advice?
So the value of the Zyprexa is that it shows you the fluidity of consciousness. That's one of the key values, just the fact that you get to change states and change into very radically different states. That's a huge eye-opening experience. Do not underestimate the value of that. That alone right there will change your whole life. To be able to pop out of your life and look back upon it as though it was all an imagined hallucination.
That's what it happens to be imagining right now. The next second who knows what it could imagine. It can imagine anything it wants but it just so happens that it keeps imagining something consistent so that we can get a sense of reality.
YES EXACTLY. Im a different person now because of how and what and why i hallucinated what i did when they force injected me with that glowing yellow liquid as i screamed like a lion. i will never be the same.
Your right I have been using it over to years I can't get off of it I have even tried many times it can't be done never seen any thing like it before how to get off of it without the crazy things it does to you
Hi Psych Nurse, Matt here. Yeah, my older brother's been on this drug for 30 years, and have seen a PURE EVIL SIDE to this drug in the family. Should GP's or health pro's give this medication long term thus making the patient/client worser as the years have gone by??? Is this fair medical practise for any doctor to give this drug to any person, knowing the effects it will have on that person and damaging the frontal cortext of the brain, further down the track???
PS I will holding up a sign here in our country about the Stigmatisation of Mental Health here in NZ. I won't be able to video myself doing this, but Mental Health and the silent treatment does not work any more. Is any of your country going through similar issues as we are going through at present???
Matt
Im on 5mg zyprexa, 300 mg lithium 2x daily and a sm dose of lamictal. I don't like all these meds but what else can i do? Ive been through almost every mental health med out there.
Take an honest and profound look at the circumstances that led you to being prescribed meds. Did you go through a traumatic event, or lots of little ones over a period of time? Were you abusing drugs or alcohol? Did you have low self esteem? Address that kind of stuff in therapy. Eat healthy and move your body daily. Reiki and acupuncture can honestly work wonders too (I know it’s controversial, but give it a try, so much of this is energetic). I was diagnosed bipolar type 1, took meds for 5 years, went off bc of health problems, and now I’ve been med free and more stable than ever for 2.5 years. I don’t expect to have another episode because I’ve addressed and healed the root cause of my “disorder.” My hypothesis is that so many of us with this diagnosis were having a trauma response combined with dysregulating lifestyle choices (like addictions and erratic sleep patterns). Work on yourself, stay positive, and you can overcome.
Bro, what would you recommend books for starting psyche rns?
The center cannot hold. A curious incident of the dog in the night. Ward number 6. Anything by peter breggin, peter gotzsche, or Joanna moncrief :).
"радость" (radost'), which means "DMT" or "ZYPREXA" It's associated with positive emotions such as pleasure, contentment, and delight.
is zyprexa dmt
Can I reverse the damage that been done to my brain because of it ( I’m always dull and I can’t think and speak)
i have word reversing now and word blanks more often and am more forgetful now.. also have seizures now and TD tremors from it, heart damage. i had a really bad reaction to 30mg intramuscular forced restrained injection into my front hips... i had post injection delerium sedation syndrome... hallucinated for hours, went into hypothermia and unconsciously "escaped restraint".....
anyway my life is fucking hell now and im disabled cant work and have heart problems seizures every day and sometimes i cant even walk. .... cbd saved my life otherwise i likely woulda called it quits already. lazarus naturals has a discount disability program for their cbd oil. i would not function at all without 250-400mg per day as i need it. I feel like i have early onset alzheimers now and im 37.
i think generally you "can." it's best to believe it even if it's not possible--i think the placebo effect tells us about how powerful our bodies are in healing, so you just gotta believe, and do everything in your power to challenge your brain like you would a physical muscle :)
This is absolutely horrible, this poison should never be given to anyone. The fact that they force people to take shots is sickening and horrifying to me. There has got to be other ways to treat people than this. I sit here listening in abject horror that I lilve in a time period where this stuff administered to people and they are tricked into thinking that they need it.
i have td seizures and heart problems from being force injected with 30mg in my hips. i felt raped. they proceeded to leave shift post injection.. and my calls for help were ignored and i laid there in and out of consciousness hallucinating unthinkable things. restrained and going into hypothermia. they claim i escaped restraint. im a woman and when they separated me from my husband and violated our faith by injecting me it took about ten of them to take me down. i thought i was going to be killed and they were dragging me down. i was only desperstely trying to climb atop their attack grabs and have my head stay in the light. then i blacked out. when i awoke they were holding glowing amber vials above my eyes as the anesthesiologist stared deeply into my eyes as i screamed for my life. i am just thankful i didnt die. some days i wish i had.
this happened under two years ago. it has to stop. someone has to throw the stone that kills goliath. let it be me.
I agree, it's effin sickening
sorry to hear :(. glad you made it thru this--like i always tell my pts, if they can survive a psych ward, they can survive ANYTHING
Psych ward is the easy part, heart failure that coincidentally occurred at similar time is the hard part. Btw do ward staff gets psych evaluation from time to time? Cose I think they might be a bit like legal sadists.
If you have Zyprexa that you really want in your life, spend lots of time thinking about it. The more you think the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subconscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it.
When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower.
A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond.
All sorts of dreams are possible.
The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail.
Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds.
A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.
I've taken 6 different anti-psychotics until i finally landed on 15mg of Zyprexa. It greatly increases my quality of life. Some pretty brutal side effects though. Very tired all the time and get these super intense panic attacks that last about 90 minutes.
It breaks down into Nitrenium ions in your body. Quit while you still can.
Found out within the past month Urolithin A fixes mitochondrial dna damage caused by olanzapine aka zyprexa
I'm taking POMEGRANATE juice for it now and it's working
I was put on Zeprexa and my quality of life has been greatly affected. I have Avolition and Akathisia and insomnia
I would taper off it takes months they told me to start working at low doses so maybe you are able to just cold turkey it like i was able to. NOT recommending, just stating a fact. I had been taking 5mg for three weeks at one point and zombie state had taken over but i went cold turkey and i happened to have no withdrawal.
How do I get off this daily chemical labotamy?
I feel like olanzapine has ruined me, only neuroleptic i ever took back in 2021, and i am still damaged with no recovery.
how long have you been taking it? What symptoms do you have?
Me too. I'm trying NAcetylLCysteine for recovery.
It causes dna damage. Oxidative stress like bonkers.
Things that are detoxifying and life extending are going to help you feel better like green tea and malic acid, vitamin c, proper rest fluids and diet - the works! Just pamper yourself with healthful things only and you will feel a little better soon i pray!!!
Hi, I would like to know if I can simply just stop taking 2.5mg Olanzapine?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Take half your dose for at least 2 weeks, but if you can take it for 6 weeks or even longer before you go off entirely, you’ll reduce your risk of withdrawal by a lot.
The psychiatrist perscribed me 2.5mg olanzapine for my ADHD sleep problem . I think it's a little bit extreme and will not take it. What do you think?
never!!!
dont take it its junk. try advanced nutrient therapy. (eat healthy, different foods maybe Keto or Carnivore diet) will do ewonders
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37828862/#:~:text=These%20data%20indicate%20that%20olanzapine,effects%20associated%20with%20accelerated%20aging.
What do you think? Psychiatry should be abolished, your doctor will is to cause you brain damage and a turn you into a permanent client, nothing else
Try herbs like valerian, passionflower, camomile, melissa, ashwaganda, or red kratom. CBD and small doses of melatonin (1 mg or less to avoid dependence) might work too. I think it’s medical malpractice that doctors are prescribing olanzapine for insomnia. If you feel that you really need a pharmaceutical for your insomnia, I’d recommend trazodone or doxepin instead. I had some side effects with them too (aphasia and stuttering), although they seem to have less long-term health risks.
Im taking it along with Fluvoxamine for severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I feel better (and also dont have as many motor tics anymore) but I’m not sure which drug is helping. I tried many antidepressants for years and it didn’t help which is why I’m also taking Olanzapine. I also tried many as needed anxiety meds and the only thing that worked was benzodiazepines. My dose of Olanzapine was increased since I was still needing Clonazepam to sleep without panic attacks and Im supposed to be getting off of benzos. I tried recreational drugs as well and it also does not help. I just don’t know what else I can take.
Looooool at the end
18-26 antidepressants then the mood age 27-41, i tried everything in the book im so drained, I don't feel medicine every Antipsychotics or MAOI causes rage and hostile
All this “safety and effectiveness” talk comes directly from FDA verbiage - first clinical trial is to show that the drug doesn’t kill people and second clinical trial is to show that the drug actually *does* something. With those two the drug gets FDA approved and is put on the market which is basically clinical trial #3 to figure out additional side effects
ya.. 60% of trial participants dropped out of trials. look into the zyprexa papers by jim gottstein and psychrights
So in other word's if it doesn't kill you and does something it get's approved?
So in other word's the drug could cause a lot of damage and almost kill people but still get approved by the FDA?
Because a lot serious damage can happen without it killing a person.

I'm diagnosed with bipolar 2 and haven't responded to anything other than minor benefits from lithium, and was just prescribed this. I haven't taken it yet, first dose is tonight, is this something you think is a good medication for bp2?

@@robyndawn I'm on 5mg. I can't tell if it's helping or not yet, but I haven't noticed anything negative, either.
@@ihavealife002hi! I also have bipolar 2, how has this been working for you?
@@cactus_for_hands I gained like 15-20lbs in a month and didn't notice any benefits. The weight gain just made me feel worse so I was taken off of it. But, that doesn't mean it won't work for you =)

😂 if you made it that far into this crazy video I commend you sir!
I only took a 20 mg one once and it knocked my out for a couple days but never took it again. Same thing with the 5 mg Abilify pill too. Knocked me out for a couple days. Same issue with 100 mg Trazodone and 2 mg Klonopin too. They all just knocked me out and I only took them once.
I have awoken so far beyond Zyprexa that I discovered an entirely new category of awakening. I have become so conscious if the nature of love, that I have discovered an entirely new kind of love: Alien Love. This is nothing that any human has ever imagined or spoken of. The happiest day of my life is when I awoke to infinite alien love. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. My comprehension of love has become so profound that I have become Alien Love.
I can show humanity how to become Alien Love. That is now the purpose of my life's work.

Also, Psych Nurse, I have been diagnosed as Autism from my local doctor and been given Risperidone? Is this a correct diagnosis???
Matt
i have a close one who is diagnosed w/ ASD (previously Asperger's) and I think they put him on 1-2mg of risperidone. I personally think, especially knowing him VERY well, this was an improper prescription.
But if you look at the indications for a lot of the newer antipsychotics, autism spectrum disorder is in there and my hunch is that it treats some of the more difficult-to-deal-with behavioral issues (emotional outbursts, irritation, anger, etc).
ASD can be difficult for many caregivers based upon the severity of it, so I can understand why they'd want to prescribe tranquilizers. Still, at least in my loved one's case, I definitely think risperidone was an ill-fit. Hope this helps :)
@@A_Psych_Nurse To Psych Nurse, thanks for sharing your comments. At least, you know what medications work for some people and work doesn't work for others. I believe in having those open discussions with the GP and other family members do make everyone's burdens or loved one's have that mind of ease.
Just wondering have you met any person, who has been on any type of psychiatric medication, and will keep to themselves, therefore "the silent treatment" (well this is what I am facing at present with my older brother), and spreading nicotine everywhere, while the drug he takes, is making his mind worse, and again hearing the EVIL voices come out of his mouth), and not talk to anyone but talk to his mind most of the time, and won't talk to you only if that person is willing to talk to you when asked? Just wondering in and where you have worked, you have seen anyone like that before?
Matt

My Mum is taking it with antidepressant called brintellix. I dont know why she has to take it? Even the brentellix. She was diagnosed with post traumatic shock after a urgent surgery, she has been on them since 8 months, and its not very good. She is still not going well, we dont see any improvement. She used to take zoloft which really helped her but this time she got the brintellix, the doctor said that its a more modern drug.....we dont know what to do...I myself have some experience with zoloft, benzos and paxil. So I know that only she knows how she feels....
I was put on this when I was 15 years old.
