I’ve been off meds and felt horrible when I had to go back on, like I let down my treatment team and myself . I have so little psychosis that if anyone could go off it would be me and yet I can’t. Part of me is kinda anti med like I don’t even like taking cold medicine but the rest realizes I’m better off with these meds and in fact lucky to have them.

For you if you had the olanzapine you might have been ok but changing two meds at once was probably a mistake by the pdoc.
Yes, good points SP.
