kup0: olanzapine WD.

[kup0]

Hello,  I have been taking these drugs melts brains, when finally I got leave begins the second part of the nightmare.

My main symptoms are dyspnea, IBS, mild extrapyramidal symptoms, paresthesia in feet, lack of libido, intermittent dysfunction.

In addition to cognitive problems, lack of concentration, inability to carry a routine, lack of motivation, interest, creativity.

 

All these symptoms have been declining progressively since I leave in April 2015. Dyspnea now are sighs, sexual problems are solved by decreasing prolactin supplements, even so continue having many problems that prevent me to continue with my normal life. So I need help and advice.

30% increase my weight with the drug, I am now 12% above before taking these drugs are very soluble, anyone know if this is an important factor?

 

I've been doing the following to recover, I will put the first thing that helps me.

 

Physical exercise, sport, I was always very athletic, now I'm not so sedated I do more sport, I do 2-4 hours to notice something significant as that dyspnea disappears and sleep better.

 

Antioxidants:

Resveratrol

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Curcumin

 

others:

Vitamin B complex.

Omega 3-6 NKO.

Zinc

Magnesium glycinate

Proteins and amino acids.

SAM-e

 

Tribulus (increase testosterone)

 

If I have many extrapyramidal symptoms for whatever reason at some point I have taken mucuna puriens containing L-dopa. It eliminates extrapyramidal symptoms but has adverse effects when Conclude.

 

Despite all this, intense exercise, diet based on fruits, meat and fish, with supplements taken occasionally evenly. I continue being like ****, I continue having digestive, respiratory, circulation, and cognitive problems. I've noticed that every time the improvement is less, as if it were a point where I'm not going to improve more and stay so the rest of my life is horrible.

Sorry my english, i use google traductor from spain.

Hi kup0,

 

Welcome to SA.  It would seem from your post that you have stopped taking your olanzapine.  Could you please post how much you were taking, how you stopped (did you go off it all at once) and the date you took you last tablet?   This will help the staff to offer suggestions.

 

The staff are online regularly so someone should be in soon.

 

Best wishes,

CC

Welcome, kup0.

 

I would also like to know your daily symptom pattern and when you take each of those supplements.

 

Do you get indigestion from certain foods? Keeping a food diary and tracking your symptoms might help.

my story is in the firm.

 

 

09-2012. 10mg olanzapine, 15mg abilify, akineton.

11-2012. 10mg olanzapine

01-2013 5mg olanzapine.

01-2014 2.5mg olanzapine.

04-2015. off.

 

or so I've taken that, although I cut the pills, even if they had the deck and should not do. I could not take the pill because I sedated whole lot, and if I did not take him very bad, so the cut.

 

Welcome, kup0.

with extras I feel better, but do not take them every day on a continuous basis.

But basically I feel better in general, some supplements help some things more than others, also took L-glutamine sometimes really helps digestion for IBS. Since IBS causes the intestines to go very fast, glutamine makes a slower digestion.

 

The puriens mucuna helps me to increase the libido and stop extrapyramidal symptoms but has adverse effects have felt the "wearing-off" after 2 days.

 

Everything else tends to be better for me as antioxidants, b6, zinc, curcumin, make the dopaminergic system work better. But neither is a feeling of being recovered.

 

When I stop taking the supplements starts ringing a slight general fatigue, insomnia, 2weeks I was sleeping 4 hours a day, so I try to do intense physical exercise, it helps me to get at least 6-8 hours sleep and breathe better.

 

The more persistent symptoms and are almost daily are: dyspnea (breathing problems), IBS (digestive, accumulation of gas, bloating), cognitive problems, concentration, routine, decision making, etc ..

I have no indigestion with certain foods, if I feel as much swelling and discomfort, I try to make smaller meals. Sometimes some stomach ache spent in 10-20min. The most annoying is that the abdomen is inflated by gases, belching and gas. Before I had more problems but have been disappearing.

 

I can not take stimulants, caffeine and alcohol increase dyspnea.

 

With olanzapine smoked a lot snuff (almost 20 cigarettes a day) and I could not leave him, used to smoke five cigarettes a day and could not stop smoothly, when you stop olanzapine, at 2 weeks I appeared dyspnea that was very strong and I prevented to smoke, and I quit smoking without problems. After 6months (September) dyspnea started to become sighs and be controllable and variable. all symptoms decreased substantially, but not entirely disappear. In the day to day changes are not noticeable, but  I will take note, and every 30 days be  significant changes, but increasingly, it is as if the recovery made a negative exponential curve.

[Altostrata]

Something is irritating your digestion.

See if you can help me here, I leave the treatment on my own because the only psychiatrist to give me cocktail and that was unbearable. Now when I'm bad for withdrawal, the damage that has generated the psycho drugs, the doctor tells me that it is a "relapse" that I have anxiety or psychological. He says "you refuse to take treatment (antipsychotics) and why you are wrong, your anxiety."

I have never encountered so, the symptoms that I have now resemble those of anxiety, but I have no anxiety, symptoms worsen with anxiety, but anxiety does not seem the case, let me explain right ?.

 

The doctor does not think that the drug has damaged / altered my brain, causing a withdrawal syndrome, is believed to be a relapse, and he says I'm perfectly healthy, only with a blood test.

 

In short, the state medical insurance does not help me, want to give me drugs again to return to before. I do not know if I should go to a private neurologist, or that doctors can help me with this? I can make a report because I have all these symptoms.

[Altostrata]

Very few doctors or psychiatrists know anything about withdrawal syndrome. Very frequently, they call it relapse.

 

If you look long enough, you might find one. But what kind of treatment would you like the state medical insurance to cover?

[kup0]

if I do not cover the state, I will repay. What I want is to be well or know what happens to me and I must do.

[Altostrata]

We cannot tell you how to cure withdrawal syndrome. You need to let your nervous system heal, by treating it gently.

 

See our Symptoms and Self-care forum  http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/forum/8-symptoms-and-self-care/for suggestions about how to cope with symptoms.

Hello! thanks for the help of the few who have posted, I wish more people encourage me as this is very hard to go alone.

 

Since a few days ago they have disappeared IBS bowel spasms. The abdomen is somewhat distorted by the left side of the gas (I think), but continues to improve, the most annoying thing is over.

 

Dyspnea persists in the form of soft sighs to grab air, but continues to decline and hope it disappears in a few months.

 

 

I continued researching and reading, and I think the other symptoms that persist with hardly any improvement is due to the damage to the basal ganglia that generate a dopaminergic deficiency. I have almost all the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is common in people treated with neuroleptics in a long run.

 

In January I'll go to a neurologist expert in Parkinson's.

 

Although EPS few symptoms that are not very upset at how little can happen, if they are very annoying symptoms that are secondary.

 

anhedonia, apathy, lack of motivation.

Lack of libido, sexual problems.

cognitive problems: lack of concentration, memory, etc ..

 

All these problems seem to be solved when taking mucuna puriens (l-dopa, a synthetic dopamine), or supplements that lower prolactin that support the dopaminergic system (vitamin E, vitamin B6, sam-e, zinc) but these are not really effective, single a little relief.

 

With the I-dopa really feel an up enormous energy, tranquility invades my body, my memory and concentration are incredible, my motivation for doing things increases, EPS disappear completely, libido increases (especially coupled with tribulus) They call this the honeymoon effect, but when the effect ends (24-48 h) has adverse effects are felt, but there is a residual effect of improvement that is disappearing little by little, but I can make it last a little more with other supplements.

 

At the end end taking 1 capsule puriens mucuna every 7-10 days, between 400mg and 100mg dose dependent as I am, (400mg capsules are, but the vacuum to 100mg to reduce the adverse effects of end of dose).

 

Hopefully someone can help me with this, I read that Parkinson's can improve treatments and supplements, but does not know what to do, I need to produce more dopamine, please help !.

 

I believe that withdrawal has passed at least 95%, I have left now is the persistent brain damage, which should improve with intensive treatment: psychological, physical, food and environmental.

 

I have seen the movie "awakenings" and really loved it! great movie! and I feel identified, really improved a few minutes with motivating music, it's like a rush of dopamine! is incredible, just like in the movie, some motivational activities make me feel good, but they only last a few minutes at most, every day I wake up eager to continue fighting this, show the world that it has a solution, and move mountains to prove it, and I hope you for help me in this hard way.

[Altostrata]

Good to hear you're a bit better, kup0.

 

It is unlikely you have Parkinson's. Most likely, you have post-acute withdrawal syndrome.

 

Please be patient and take care of yourself, treat your nervous system gently. It will slowly heal.

[kup0]

very thanks for support,

Hello, I'm improving every month I feel a little better.

 

I managed the amino acid analysis, and I have some very low, and everyone else in normal amounts, there is no excess despite taking all kinds of supplements, just corrected me some, but the lack of some is the problem.

 

It would be very important that anyone taking or stop taking a drug such, amino acid test done, because they help enough to eliminate the negative symptoms.

[kup0]

thanks to my new doctor, is healing me digestive and breathing problems. Treatment is 2months (only for this) but I feel cured.

 

Other improvements are noticed is that all the symptoms of anxiety are disappearing, and is improving concentration, cognition, memory, etc ..

 

Also tics, spasms, cramps were reduced by 98%

[btdt]

What is the treatment?

[kup0]

I'm not sure, first sorry for my English if not very precise.

 

Are 2 products, one to clean the stomach, a drain, the second is a debugger I think for the liver and lymphatic system.

 

they must be taken together with probiotics to restore intestinal flora.

 

Dr told me that no matter how many supplements of omega take or whatever, that the medication had destroyed the intestinal flora of my stomach,  and they were not going properly in the body.  which first had to clean all the medication and restore intestinal flora.

 

And second cleanse the liver and others to function again.

after that he begins to restore nutritional amino acid imbalance to regain the biochemical imbalance in the brain.

I'm getting lot of mucus in the lungs, which is supposed to be everything that had toxic within the lymphatic system.

I'll be so 2months to remove all trash in me. But it feels good then, without respiratory problems, and disappearing all the symptoms of anxiety.
