Schizophrenia and my reading (or thinking) ability

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't know that Olanzapine was a powerful drug. Maybe that's why my doctor didn't give any serious comments or just kinda shrugged it off when I told him this reading/thinking problem. I'll try to tell him again on my next appointment.
I'm taking 5mg Olanzapine (plus 20mg Fluoxetine) now, in the beginning I took 20mg Olanzapine and doctor reduced it gradually after some time.

My schizophrenia was like I felt someone/something wanted to control me or to harm me. Felt like this environment surrounding me was dangerous and I felt fearful and kept trying to avoid or run away. I was really afraid of those thunders/lightnings voices during normal thunderstorms, like they were going to do evil to me.
I also had very bizarre or strange thoughts, felt like someone/something was putting those thoughts to my mind (I half-believe that they were really from a god or some other beings).
I was sent to mental hospital after I refused/was afraid to eat and nearly couldn't sleep for 2 weeks.

I also had (and still have) a feeling that this world didn't appear random (didn't conform to law of chances/probabilities), but maybe this wasn't a schizophrenia symptom.

I did a blood test 9 months ago. Blood glucose/cholesterols, blood count/profile, urinalysis, liver/kidney/thyroid/bone-joint functions. Nothing was wrong, only that my Blood pressure was 140/85.

Just btw ....doctors usually use common blood chemistry ( cbc)s as a inferior standard of care ...And the labs they use are budget labs..found out the hard way .. Eventually found a doctor that was actually interested in helping their patients ..Was reccomended to pay out of pocket for a much more comphrehensive lab testing business . Much more analysis on stuff in the blood. Had almost a lifetime of poor quality medical treatment .Got me on a better path for my healthcare ..( but I can now pretty accurately read most blood reports). Might look up a infectious disease doc, but that is " NO" guarrantee you will get a good one .Had suspicions from early on, that nutrition plays a very big role .
Found yet another doc , who was trying to retire and had a large amount of his career as a ER doc .. Turns out i was right . He placed me on a group of supplements , used strategically ....And I got much better. After the last good Doc passed on , have been using what he taught me ....to try to maintain ..A pretty heavily damaged body from previous mishaps and poor quality care . He passed on , at a ripe old age. But have outlived most of the people I knew in High school . Did not make friends at college though . Managing your health can be a handful .PS he did occassionally but rarely prescribe a actual prescription. Only used per his testing
