Open original source ↗
I’ve been on olanzapine for 6 months and it’s caused me to feel numb and mind is blank. Did anyone have experience switching from olanzapine? Did your emotions come back?
Cause
Reddit r/bipolar2 first-person OP: on olanzapine 6 months. Attributes emotional numbness + mind blanking to olanzapine; asking which antipsychotic does not cause that and whether emotions returned after switching. Unused r/bipolar2; distinct from known Antipsychiatry olanzapine 1jzt7xv/1jqum9b and Shane88L WD. Live Reddit 403; quote from search-index OP excerpt.
Duration
6 months on olanzapine at posting; still numb+blank on-drug
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Asking about switches (Latuda/Abilify/Seroquel/Caplyta etc. suggested by others). No later OP update in available excerpts.
