“I live in supported accomodation and I am pretty much bed ridden, feel apathetic, no emotions, no thoughts, find it hard to maintain conversation, can't follow tv. I've been on olanzipine for nearly a year but the anhedonia and apathy, lack of tiredness, started in December I'm in 17.5mg a day. I was forced on it when I was in hospital where they said they didn't know what was wrong with me (not schizophrenic or bipolar) I can barely string a sentence together i constantly feel spacey and zoned out. I can barely function. If I come off olanzipine do you think it would help. I got put on sertraline also when I said I was feeling numb and blank I can just lie in bed and think of nothing to pass the time. 3 years ago I got shot with clopixol even though I was intolerant to it because of shitty doctors. Psych meds have never helped me Has anyone else felt similar. I feel 3iq at the moment”
