Celebrating weight loss after olanzapine
I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times
For the first time in a very very long time I am actually proud of myself. I am now stable on Tegretol, clonidine, and olanzapine. I have a job, I was promoted to manager and even made employee of the month. I can't believe how far I've come. 7 months ago I was homeless and strung out on the streets
8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?
