Is olanzapine a benzo I read of it being a theobenzodiazepeine or something.
I came of quetiapine cos of the horrible hangover I have more insomnia now but the olanzapine tends to put me to sleep in the day should i take it in the afternoon as i read it peaks in 5 hours?
Also if it is a benzo does it act on the gaba receptors?
And is 5mg a decent dose as im still getting racing thoughts and feeling paranoid at times but I really don't want to increase it due to side effects and people think ya on some hard drugs due to the side effects I had quetiapine when I first got it and be falling aslep on couch and dad thought I'd been taking fucking heroin!
Also would you say it potentiates the sedative effects of opiates since its long half life, I say quetiapine doesn't due to it knocks you out to feel the high but if I don't miss my olanzapine I notice I get more of a nod of my morphine.
ive tried every atypical anti psychotic I think risperine, olanzapine, quetiapine, abilify, are the typicals really bad in side effects I GOT offered Haldol before and I said no way. Risperidone did nothing for me and in higher doses made me hallucinate, quetiapine was great for my insomnia and at one point 50mg would put me to sleep and feel great the next day then the dose needed increasing 100mg then helped but felt shit next day stopped working 150 200mg made me useless the next day.
Abilify was good for giving me energy and doing stuff, bad for sleep and also made me ill to point people asking me if I was ok.
