This is why I was prescribed Olanzapine (Zyprexa) 💊

[@user-fb3yf2xb2z]

psychiatrists love dishing out pills in my experience. in my experience most psychiatrists are academics, often quite arrogant, seeing you only as a case study, and removed from things like 'drug side effects' and they rarely have tried taking themselves what they are pushing towards people. the information leaflets often show so many different things with such broad effects that they are very hard to decide when those potential dangers warrant not touching the 'medication' at all. I notice psychiatrists exhibit a group think and will close ranks to protect their profession and it is often a decade or more later that the worst of the medication effect is 'discovered' and agreed or no longer prescribed - e.g. when medication X is initially definitely not subject to being habit forming/addictive, until 15 years later when the evidence built up clearly show to the contrary.

Very well said, and it most definitely speaks to the silent majority 💊.

I tried taking it once, but I wasn't really interested... Also, Olanzaine sounds scary! Those manipulative practices of drug companies are the worst.

[@JohnORourke.]

What were you taking it for? And yes, it's most definitely a rabbit hole you could go down 💊.

I've been on these drugs all my life, it sucks

[@JohnORourke.]

@christiananimangaguy, thanks for your comment. Did you suffer from any of the side effects?

[@angelaorourke4741]

What happened to John is an absolute disgrace.

They put you on it because you used Tinder? What

[@JohnORourke.]

Yes, to some extent. Based on what I said, my consultant decided that Olanzapine was appropriate 💊.

[@dedkat7]

@@JohnORourke. I think I understand, and that's messed up if true. You should have been prescribed an anti-depressent not a powerful anti-psychotic

[@JohnORourke.]

True story! 💊.

[@abradford23]

Tinder? What would've happened if he had used Hinge or Bumble? A script for Propofol?

[@JohnORourke.]

Caveat emptor 💊.
