Finding out the hard way

So, it’s been almost a month since my last post. Still taking the Olanzapine every night, because I came to realize that I definitely wasn’t able to control myself without it. How? Well, let’s say I found out the hard way.

First week on meds: Olanzapine

So I’ve been taking the lowest possible dose (2,5 mg) of Olanzapine for the past week, and I’m actually quite happy with how I’m feeling right now. The first two days I almost stopped taking the pills because I felt so bad – throughout the days I was awfully tired and dreary, and I almost fainted at one point – but soon my body seemed to get used to the new situation and I started feeling ‘normal’, for a change. It’s something I hadn’t felt for quite a while, but it’s hard to explain what it feels like. It’s not as if I became an entirely different person, but every now and then I notice something that has changed from the moment I started taking the meds. And I’m glad to say that most of those changes have been for the better.
