Ughh! I have these crazy feelings right now. It's like derealization or dizziness or just a feeling of passing out. It keeps coming on all the time. No surprise though. It's been exactly two weeks since my last... hit of my antipsychotic. Crazy withdrawal. Will take the pill later. Ugh, feels so horrible.
The doc prescribed gabapentin instead of olanzapine. Just to see if I can go over to that. She said gabapentin should be a lot easier to go off of. Also normally she said, she would just replace olanzapine - a really strong antipsychotic, with a lighter antipsychotic. But said I don't actually have anything psyche wise wrong with me to be on those pills so the ebst idea for me would be to go off of it. I was only put on the pill for severe nausea induced by anxiety. The pill is also given to chemo therapy patients when they start feeling sick or get severely sick.
I mean, olanzapine is the only pill that has ever taken away my nausea but in general I'm a lot better so I don't need it anymore. Just gotta somehow get off of it. I don't have the time to ride out the withdrawal symptoms cause they get so bad I can't function but I need to work. So another way has to be found. And there's no telling how long the symptoms would last so I can't take time off work either for this.
Ughh...I'll just go off now to feel sick and crazy.
