The interesting thing with you is that you often feel better if you’re on olanzapine which doesn’t hammer down on d2 like the others....I wonder if it might actually block part of the effect of invega by competing though. Have you tried taking it every night instead of just as a prn?

Olanzepine really reminds me of a calm stimulant/ADHD med... It's basically the same thing. I used to take it as a PRN last year - But this year, I've been taking 10mg every day at 5-6pm..
Olanzepine killed my DP/DR and panic attacks completely. It doesn't make me tired anymore.. Helps me to focus instead of dissociate. I take one fish oil religiously every day + A few other vitamins like B, C, D..
I like the olanzepine better than Invega.. I feel like I don't need the Invega or that it doesn't do anything.. I did try lowering it last year? Or the year before.. But the environment that I was in was terrible for my mental health.
I read some studies that talked about combination of dextroamphetamine and olanzepine for schizophrenia.. Results seemed good.. I forget what it was about but basically, schizophrenia = Low dopamine in one area (Which the stimulant increases) + High dopamine in another (Which the olanzepine decreases)..
I microdose mush a few times a month. A paper that I read said that the trip effects are lowered on antipsychotics but the neurogenesis effects still work.. Mice twitch their heads while tripping.. Healthy mice trained with neuroplasticity were taught to how to drive with a mouse car/contraption and stressed ones failed to be able to do it let alone taking forever to know how..
I love olanzepine... I wish it was all I needed.. 10mg.. Maybe that's true - I have to lower the Invega slowly if I want to know so I can see...
