I read online about it. olanzapine is an antipsychotic that can permanent alter the brain. He says it's supposed to make me calm down and be braver. How true is this? Doesn't this drug shrink the brain? I want to use the drug to make myself not react to bad news strongly after that moment that fucked me up so bad I had to cut off communication with most people so they won't remind me of it
Pharmacist here, A cheaper over the counter solution is to huff paint.
>olanzapine is an antipsychotic that can permanent alter the brain.
I'm also taking an anti-psychotic, similar to Olanzapine, but I suppose it's on you to decide whether the symptoms of your psychosis/mania are debilitating enough, that you put up with the side effects of those medications. While it's probably true that they alter your brain long-term, the short to mid-term side effects are probably more important, such as Olanzapine being notorious for making people fat. Akathisia might also be a concern.
>He says it's supposed to make me calm down and be braver. How true is this?
I suppose those medications have a sedative effect, but that is not their intended purpose, or at least not the primary one. It really depends on your condition and circumstances whether it makes sense to take it.
>I want to use the drug to make myself not react to bad news strongly
Frankly, I have no clue what you mean.

I want to use it to get rid of my axniety

On 2021 june 2nd,Someone told me something bad about a person I grew up with and inspired me, I didn't want to believe it but the things he said sounded so true. Because of that moment, I cut myself from communicating with that person and other people, I didn't want them to remind of that moment or share his opinion. It happened before and i don't want it to happen again. ever since that moment, I've being trying to fight against what he said and not believe it but it just keeps getting worse and worse, everytime I try to confront it, I get extremely nervous, my heart beats quickly and I start worrying and shaking. It feels like i'm going to die. My plan is to take these drugs so that I can confront it properly and not deal with shit again. I want to go back to the way I was before what he told me
Somebody else know about this?
Are they great drugs? I know that olanzapine is used for schizophrenia
