Hello all, I have been prescribed 10mg olanzapine for my psychosis (which i think may have been caused by heavy daily use of strong cannabis.) So far it has been great for me, it helps my mood, my anxiety, and my paranoid thinking.
I was wondering about using oxycodone (40mg) on this medication, any interactions I need to know about? Is it safe(ish) [no substance use is 100% safe]
Most substances I enjoy I know would not work on this medication, psychedelics, mdma etc. would probably not work at all, and stimulant effects would be blunted. I have stopped using stimulants anyway as they effect my behaviour in a negative way. And cannabis I miss dearly because it used to be my friend but now I can't use even the tiniest crumb or it sends me into complete panic attack and psychotic paranoia. So I feel torn because I can barely use any substances anymore on the olanzapine, but it is working good for my mental health situation and I am not going to stop taking it. What other substances would work on olanzapine? Apart from benzos and opioids and i think ketamine (and possibly cannabis and stimulants for people who don't have psychosis or other mental problems) I can't really think of anything else that might exert any effects, even if the effects would be diminished.
I am not saying I'm going to go on some crazy binge and do as many drugs as I can, I just would like to know what's possible for me to use so that I have an idea of what's safe(ish) and what's not, so I am able to responsibly choose what to use when I feel the time is right.
So far I have only used Kratom while taking the olanzapine. The euphoric effects of the kratom are definitely blunted (perhaps due to the olanzapine antagonizing DA and SERT receptors?) but it adds to the sedative and relaxing effects of the kratom, which is pleasant in its own way. Also the kratom has been a god-send for me, it makes me more motivated to work than any Vyvanse, ritalin, amphetamine I have ever tried or had prescribed.
I would like to use oxycodone occasionally, definitely not often, just as a treat maybe once a month, from what I have read olanzapine is a thienobenzodiazepine and has some activity at certain GABA receptors, so would it be almost like combining opioids with xanax or diazepam or other benzos? Which most here would probably know that is a dangerous combination, especially at higher doses.
tldr: is combining oxycodone with 10mg daily olanzapine okay? what other substances would work on olanzapine?
Thank you, god bless, it's been a ride hasn't it
