I have schizophrenia all I take is 2.5mg of olanzapine, and self medicate kratom and nicotine gum, and just introduced phenibut. I see the psychosis as 2 sides of the same coin, either use meds and be a functioning member of society and be happy. Or don't and be able to be creatively free in your own mind, and think however you want. I've also tried serquel but I prefer olanzapine it seems more subtle than it lets on. Olanzapine is like you don't notice that you're tranquilized where as seroquel comes right out and shows you the tranquilization. Seroquel + Risperdone I tried for a short time that's some serious shit. I used to drink all the time on olanzapine but that was when I was on 10mg because that was unbearable, it's like it locks you into your habits and makes it very difficult to plan or think about changing anything in your life.

Nicotine seems to help the most as far as helpful things to combine with anti-psychotics. Patches, gum, lozenges though I can't recommend tobacco. Weed will send me into a state that I probably would want to retreat in my own sanctuary, because it would give me social anxiety. Alcohol is fineish but it will eventually lead to problems, not so much psychosis related but social and physical (at least in my experience). I made the unfortunate mistake of combining olanzapine+DXM it got me into a locked in state of dissociation intertwined into my thinking, habits and rituals long after the period when I quit olanzapine. The feeling is still linked into my psychotic thoughts when I do have them. I strangely enough sometimes think about doing DXM again though, thinking that I can change something inside my head with the experience but I realize that it will only give me a paradox in thought that I will have to undo later. I've never combined psychedelics with olanzapine though I think it would probably cancel out most of the effects or dampen them. I've also done benadryl on olanzapine, although diphenhydramine is terrible within it's self for those purposes, and strangely unaffected by meds, it was the same experience both on and off. The thing that sent me into deep psychosis is inhalants though.
The only drug I can really say would be good to take for psychosis would be psychedelics but the only reason is that the experience could be used to sort out any thoughts that don't make sense. Most anti-psychotics are simply covering up the problem in my opinion and to really get a handle on what you think and feel and then changing how you think is eliminating all forms of dopamine through drugs, coffee, even sugar, then letting your mind guide you to seek answers. I kept replacing one addiction for another and it led me to eventually quit all drugs by replacing one for another until I was down to caffeine, then I replaced that with sugar. Then I eliminated sugar and it sent me on a mission to replace that with sensory stimulation basically a lot of porn and simulated violence. I was desensitized to that eventually and replaced that with lethargy. I honestly felt like I was dying for a little while but then I was able to think very clearly about my direction in life and was able to change most my thinking patterns. I was off anti psychotic meds at this point too, and was able to "think clearly" it honestly helped doing all this as a form of meditation because you don't realize how much these things effect you until they are gone. I had food down to anything minus corn syrup and sugar, i slipped up and had some ketchup on something I ate at one point though and that felt relatively intense. I eventually changed some thinking patterns that were "locked" by my "fix seeking" behavior and then pointlessly starting using sugar again, then bought some whipped cream and inhaled minute amounts of n2o which combined with already deep psychosis (although natural thought to me) put me in a position where I did not sleep, then became psychotic and back in the behavioral health unit where they gave me olanzapine, seroquel, risperdone, trazadone, and pop tarts. It was still an accomplishment to rid myself of vestigial thought patterns that had made me angry over time, and thus contributed fake stress to everyday situations. |
