Ok, i am going to get those tests done. Also if someone has any other thoughts on what could be tested then thyroid , please let me know.
Do antipsychotics like olanzapine also raise the levels of serotonin in the brain? Im feeling pretty strange on the olanzapine, i mean i just took first 5mg, and i kind of feel that it is maybe calming me down a little, but it feels like taking a benzodiazepine, im seriously thinking that there is some binding to the bzd receptors on olanzapine , because there is this calm that comes over me, and lasts for an hour or two upon taking it, maybe it has something to do it being a thienobenzodiazepine. And regarding reading peoples comments on how hard it is to stop, i think i will propably stop taking it alltogether, and find a safer option meaning depakote or lamictal. My doc actually said that he think that lamictal is better of the two, but it takes longer to start acting.
Today has been such a strange day too, i mean at one moment i am desperate, the second im apatchic, the third im extremely happy, almost euphoric meaning i feel kind of too happy. Almost the same feeling when i took some ssri, it made me feel horrible AKA too happy, i just could not take the feeling, and thats why i only use 5-7,5mg mirtazapine for sleep. Im maybe dropping valdoxan, maybe it is making me "too happy" , other possibility is my pretty high dose of lyrica, or olanzapine, thats why i wanted to know if it has some effect similar to ssri's, even though it should not be notable since i have only used it for a day at 5mg. Kind of scared to use olanzapine, after reading peoples comments, on how hard it is to withdraw, and regarding my previous history of benzodiazepine withdrawal, i mean i became highly addicted to them in only a few weeks of use. Both physical and psychological, i think its pretty rare, but happened to me.
