Why does God want me on anti-psychotics?

If satan is real, he works through the acts of the ignorant. That same person suggesting one ignores the advice of actual experts probably wouldn't hesitate to submit to that "evil" pharmaceutical if someone they loved hung in the balance. It's repulsive and arrogant. We are stewards of the earth and that attitude is sinful.

OP is already off his meds and he doesn't like me much and won't listen to me so relax Phyllis Schafly.

I dunno much about Soren, I just dislike Evia's attitude. Reminds me of my brother-in-law... cps intervened when he tried to pray my niece's mental illness away after she started doing a lot of very suicidal stuff. Drugs are just tools.

I am not off Olanzapine. I am back to 7.5 mg.

He doesn't. Pray to Jesus, he will show you. Dont take my word for it. Those who knock with a humble heart, he will answer you.

Pharmaceuticals are what the Bible calls "sorcery"-- it's deception. A false idea of "healing" you. You know, exactly what the Bible warned you about. That deception is -everywhere-. God made you whole, ready to take on this world. Don't let the world convince you of anything else.

Stay vigilant and keep your touches lit, brother.
For your adversary the devil prowls around looking for those weak enough to devour.
Stay vigilant. Awake. Aware.
Keep love in your heart. If they can't convince you of this bs, they will convince you to hate.
Resist it all.

$50 says you go to the emergency room and not the church, the same as anyone else, when you have a serious medical condition.

Are there no other options for your condition?

I swapped Olanzapine for Quetiapine once but could not sleep and felt numb and had a headache. With Olanzapine I sometimes have a headache and I have no motivation to do anything other than staying at home and playing videogames.

Well, I'd recommend that you keep pushing your doctor to try different meds. It feels like there are new drugs coming out constantly, and it doesn't matter if you have to suffer through trying ten different drugs that don't work, with crazy miserable side effects ... if the eleventh one gives you control of your mind (with tolerable side effects), it will be worth it.

You are ridiculous m8. I want to get rid of drugs completely and you want me to try a few more drugs. Doesn't anyone realize how stupid this sounds. Ask me, all this mental illness thing, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, psychosis, ocd, just a bunch of made up nonsense, pseudo-science, so that big pharma can sell their magic pills. I will try to taper it off again it seems. What else can I do. Nothing. And noone's helping me.

Why don't you at least tell it straight to my face. I am mentally ill, therefore I must take anti-psychotics all my life. Tapering off doesn't work after 12 years although maybe I was tapering fast admittedly.

I felt that way for like, 15 years until my doc put me on Auvelity. All the rage incidents, bipolar type 2 stuff... poof. Found a balance that works for me. Tried so many different drugs in the past, too.

It was my GP who put me on the drug that finally worked, not a shrink. I also have mistrust of mental healthcare, especially under a capitalist system, but that doesn't invalidate the effectiveness of meds... if you can find the right ones. "The mechanism of action is not clearly understood" is common with damn near all drugs

Otherwise, exercise as much as you possibly can
