Hi, I'm higherprimate

Glad you found us before going further with the Olanzapine stop. Twenty years is a long time for your brain to have adapted, so pulling it out fast was never going to be a fair fight. You made the right call by listening to what you found. Worth setting up a plan under Taper Plan and logging check ins under My Taper as you go. After a few weeks you will see patterns in how you feel that are genuinely useful to bring to your prescriber. And since you just lived through a near miss, do not hesitate to share that with others here. Someone three months behind you is going to make the same mistake, and your story might stop them.

Hi @higherprimate, welcome! Glad to have you here. I'm glad you took those steps. It's best to taper just one drug at a time and to make sure you're stable before making any more changes. We look forward to supporting you on the rest of your tapering and healing journey! Catina 🌸
