Speaking of mental health, my Keurig just flooded with boiling water and did nothing for the second morning in a row this morning as I was getting rdy for work

So, deprived of my coffee and running late I decided “Let’s make it official, jackass! Let’s make it official!”

Sometimes it feels good to throw something

(I have a fancier new one I had won in a work raffle that’s been sitting in my truck since Christmas….)

Now they don’t give drugs like Xanax because all the poors that get free healthcare have just been using it to get addicted to drugs.

I suppose you think dems are the ones who really care about "the poor".

They don't; they just hate the rich out of sheer envy. Big difference.

Doesn't matter how or why you became rich, dems will hate you and take as much of your money as they can. That's not even remotely a morally coherent worldview.

Oh and the cherry on top is that they're also insanely rich themselves. I always get a tickle out of millionaires complaining about billionaires like looool.

[atomicpaul]

lmao dems don't care about the poor either, but nice try. capitalism requires poor people to exploit, democrats are capitalists. you have more in common with them than i do.

every billionaire is a policy failure

Someone on drugs.com said that Olanzapine is the same as Xanax, just a sedative.

This is the only website on the internet where people can give reviews to their medication.

I'm not a fan of psych meds but I am addicted to Olanzapine and have to take them for life. I tried to quit it last time went 10 days without sleep, went to the doctor and cried really hard and he sent me to a mental hospital for the second time in my life, and here I am, back with 10 miligrams of Olanzapine.

It’s tough, because we wouldn’t know whether your insomnia without it is just a withdrawal symptom, because some psych meds when stopped, especially suddenly and not tapered down, can cause (usually psychological) withdrawal symptoms. It’s different than being “addicted” though, not like people get addicted to alcohol or street drugs. That is because you don’t have the other characteristics of an addict such as a desire to continue taking greater quantities, a major negative impact on your health/finances/social life caused by the drug that you are ignoring. Those are the characteristics of “addiction”. For you it is just moreso that your body and brain are temporarily dependent on the drug, meaning without it, you have some withdrawal. Actual addiction is more than that, it means the person is damaging other areas of their life due to the drug

But again we don’t know whether your insomnia is just withdrawal or due to some other mental or physical condition

I’ll mention my experience in seeing olanzapine (zyprexa is the brand name): normally years ago I only tended to see it with adults with Serious Mental Illness (just means that for them their symptoms are more severe) status. Usually with a psychotic disorder diagnosis like schizophrenia. Without the medication, they would be hallucinating, delusional, etc

More recently I have been seeing a LOT more olanzapine, the last client I saw today was on it, and so have about 3 other clients I have seen this month. In each of those circumstances, these were clients who had a developmental disability. I’m assuming (and this is only a guess as I’m not a doctor or their doctor) the olanzapine was being used to treat emotional disregulation leading to extreme behaviors, basically acting out too much

It does seem to have some sedative properties, but it is not categorized as one
