What Med Empties the Brain?

Many years ago I recall someone being on a med that they described as emptying the brain. Like, they were almost without thoughts of any kind.

Does anybody have any guess what the med might have been? I'm wondering if it might have been some sort of anti-psychotic. I'm also assuming it's something I wouldn't want to be dependent on, but that it WOULD be nice for the occasional times I want to reduce unpleasant thoughts and/or meditate.
 
Thioridazine is the antipsychotic notorious for inducing both dissociative fugue and anterograde amnesia i.e. you lose your memory and while the medication acts, you cannot for new memories.

Also notorious for it's cardiotoxicity.

I'm guessing that dissociative fugue is mediated by it's anticholinergic activity which is to say similar to how scopolomine produces that 'empty brain' AKA dissociative fugue.

Olanzapine is an antipsychotic. I had a very brief time with this medication. I can feel the weight gain just by looking at it typed lol

Seriously though, it’s not a med I’d take unless absolutely necessary. It really does make everything in that oozy, click (can’t fight it lol), I doesn’t seem to be rest feeling
 
youre thinking of morphine or some other strong, short acting ope.. opiates and opioids are fine antipsychotics, as long as you avoid getting hooked.

Sorry, who is?

I'm not disputing that opioids possess neuroleptic properties but doses that 'empty the brain' sound a lot like doses one may consider boarderline overdoses.

Anti-Psychotics for sure. I'm on both Quetiapine [Seroquel] and Chlorpromazine [Thorazine, Largactil] so this could have been either/or....I'm on 200mg [Quetiapine] and as-needed [Thorazine] now, but used to take 600mg/day of each and VERY 0FTEN I'd be mid-conversation with someone and my mind would go so blank I'd just have to say "I'm sorry I have absolutely no idea what we've been talking about" I knew me and the other person HAD been speaking but had zero awareness of a single word either of us had said, or even a vague idea of the topic.
I'd apparently speak in non-sequiturs a lot or keep completely shifting subjects mid-sentence, often without noticing.
I now have pseudo-dementia from anti-psychotic and benzo use.

ok, kind of. below that point at least the feeling of the ope in question remains. not much else though.

Weight gain, wonder how do that, i got on my BMI 1-st ttime in my life.
When i was on Mirtazepine and Pregabalin, especially the first notorious for getting fat.
I became normal, for the time i took it.

Olanzapine, had 3 tablet s was imo a perfect trip killer.
Not to intrusive, but able to break through Lysergic s.
Benzo s cant take me to sleep while on it, or after coming quite down.
So i liked it actually, as it is classified anti-psychotic.
It didn t feel like Haldol, Quetiapine or Promethazine.

But to get more weight only one thing works, eating OK.
And live active and train, as muscle s are heavier then fat.
My luck, as i got no fat probably have but like 14 % max.
So any activity fuelled with good food, result s,
in the only way i can gain weight. Muscles, and i am 50+.

Ps i gain weight on dextro-Amphetamine too,
why as it makes me orderly so i don t skip meal s.
Guess i am the oddity, 50 and seen as 20, take a good look.
And you know, i am not 20/ 30 or 40, but strong again after 5 year s sick.
An still lean, then again the only way to keep me inactive:
is by knitting me to my chair, or use superglue.

But it feels good to have back some of my youth energy.

Good morning eMKee
