So, I just got back from the pdoc.

I brought up not wanting to be on APs longterm and surprisingly my pdoc suggested I try a trial off meds! He said I was at the point he thought things should be clearing up if it was drug induced psychosis and that we’d see if symptoms came back when I went off... if so it’d be schizophrenia. It’s a chance to see if my motivation and stuff improves too.

I’m going to be stopping my Olanzapine tonight. He thought 5mg was low enough not to need a taper. Bit nervous about insomnia coming off but we shall see.

Wish me luck guys!
