What does an anti-psychotic do?

[SorenVC]

You know how much better a nice talk with a pretty woman psychologist would have been for me when I was 16... And maybe a little time off school... But I had to be put on 25 mg Olanzapine almost in the beginning without trying any other method, even though I never hurt anyone except myself by becoming underweight and having a constant dry mouth. I had a lot of nervousness and anxiety.

OP, you know what the right answer is, deep down, and no external factors will change that. Choose it, or don't, but remember: every choice you make is a vote for the kind of person you want to be.

I have a question now. So I stopped taking Olanzapine yesterday on 9/11 and I suffered and also had like 1 hour where I felt really really good. So good it was better than in a very long time probably before I ever started Olanzapine.

Now help me out here. I read that the withdrawal symptoms disappear after two to three weeks, it depends but noone knows for sure.

Should I pray to God and remain strong and steadfast and endure the pain until my body heals from the damage and addiction of Olanzapine?

Or should I give up and give in to the pain and take 10 mg Olanzapine so the pain disappears and then after two or three weeks I have a constant headache again among other problems.

I tried to pray for God and ask him, but he never answered me. Which is why I don't believe in God anymore. Can you tell me what is the better choice since I have free will or something?

For me right now it looks 50/50 cause I don't want to stay on drugs all my life and I rather prefer to be drug free and get back that feeling I had for like 20 or 30 minutes today, no anxiety, and no pain. For some reason it comes and goes right now. Must be my nervous system.

I'm cold turkeying off 5 mg that I took for three weeks and before that I took 7.5 mg for an eternity. What should I do loramin or anyone else?

In the Bible it is written be strong and courageous and believe in your free will. He who endures to the end shall be saved! So this is why I think I should endure the pain until my body adapts to zero Olanzapine.

Or should I give in to the pain and start taking this "medicine" again and after a few weeks be at the same point I was with constant headaches and everything. I think I'd rather take my chances with the cold-turkey. Or what do you think?

Except does it mean for me:

1 endure the withdrawal to the end so you will be saved from Olanzapine.
2 endure Olanzapine for all your life and live with the "side" effects and die and you will be saved.

What is the thing here guys? That's why I never liked those unspecific but important bible texts. You could never really apply them to your own life. It just sounds good.

After all my mind seems to be working fine right now. Isn't that good enough? I feel pain and lack of sleep. But I read after two to three weeks it goes away.

I must say. This is no pic nic to cold turkey any olanzapine amount. I feel painful right now. But it also feels like I can endure it. And it also feels like I am more in control of my thoughts and my body. I like this feeling. No wonder they call it the zombie drug. I don't know how the other anti psychotics are, but I heard olanzapine withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal. It's a review comment on drugs.com

I will be quiet in this thread now. Until I either give up and take the med again or until I'm victorious with the cold turkey.
