I feel more comfortable and safe cutting down the small dose of olanzapine at night wearing my new fitbit. I cut back from 1.25 mg to half of that last night and the night before. (This means cutting the pills into quarters with my pill cutter.) But I got over 8 hours of sleep in both cases so I will continue on 1/4 for awhile to make sure my sleep is stable before I cut back to zero.

I want to get off of olanzapine as it causes my blood sugar to rise and I don't want to become a diabetic.

I noticed more anxiety yesterday morning than usual and some intrusive thoughts yesterday about catastrophic things that could happen in my life.

I will be seeing my son tomorrow for my birthday. He just accepted a new job in town and it is a big pay raise and promotion for him. They also all have sit/stand desks and ergo furniture at his new workplace so that will be good for his back pain.
