What users say
Verbatim quotes, shortened only — each links to the original discussion.
“This stuff is the definition of pharmaceutical zombification... chemical lobotomy as I became pacified, mechanically content, dull, and rather lifeless.”
“Olanzapine takes away the brain fog, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and voices. It's absolutely incredible the improvement in quality of life it gives me.”
“I have to take olanzapine 5mg now and that drug is alright, it makes it easy to gain weight if you aren't careful but it seems to agree with my body chemistry and helps me sleep...I'm trying to get off Olanzapine right n”
“im having a hard time finding benefits from it.”
“20mg olanzapine ... That's an INSANE amount of benzos, a high dose of a powerful antipsychotic with countless side effects”
