Open original source ↗
Currently on olanzipine but trying to taper off it, my mind is blank, I have no thoughts no emotions I don't know what to say to people I'm constantly zoned out. I can't remember anything short term or long term. I feel mentally catatonic, the blank mind is the worst.
Cause
Reddit r/Antipsychiatry first-person OP: currently on olanzapine (spelled olanzipine), trying to taper. Attributes blank mind + no thoughts + no emotions / mentally catatonic / zoned out / memory loss to antipsychotics. Unused post; non-Invega. Live Reddit 403 this pass; quote from search-index OP excerpt (same method as prior blocked-page cases).
Duration
On olanzapine and tapering at posting; duration on-drug not quantified in available excerpt; still blank+numb at post
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Trying to taper. Reply said olanzapine made them emotionless with no joy or thoughts of their own after coming off all psych meds (endorsement; not separately logged). No later OP recovery update in available excerpts.
