I am not sure this is the right community, but I will try. I have a bunch if things going on - agitated depression, anxiety and panic disorders and traits of BPD. I am taking meds, and one if them was olanzapine. I am hypersensitive to medications, so I only took 0.5 mg (paediatric dose) for about 7-8 months. My doctor said we could try smth else after I complained of weight gain and sleeping problems. So I stopped. Even though it was such a low dose, I feel horrible. I get intrusive thoughts, cry all the time, not excited about the future and just find it hard to function (although I still do).

Can anyone, who has tried coming off anti-psychotics, advise on how to make these withdrawal symptoms just a tad more tolerable? Like, anything. I have a therapist, but I just need some self-care tips (and words of support).

Thanks you!
