Gtx1990 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I am on Olanzapine 20mg,which is the highest official dose of this drug.I am clearer in head nowadays and I have gain more patient after training.I already discontinued my workout but will get back to exercise when I need it.Now my life is simple which is just work,relax,sleep and eat.I reckon that I will grow fat and up in size but it doesn't matter as long as I continue and get my work done.i will not let negative thinking get in my way for recovery from my illnesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20YearsandCounting Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm glad the meds are working for you, gtx1990. Don't give up completely on working out, though. It can be really good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyforeigner Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 You're on the right path :) Weight gain sucks but even if drugs negatively affect your metabolism at the end of the day it's still calories consumed vs calories burned, just takes a bit more work. Great that you're participating in a meetup group, having a social life is crucial for recovery and can really help you stay motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Aromatics Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have the same Gx. Olanzapine is suitable for me in combo with Chlorpromazine. I am stable and going back to college. Although my psychotic symptoms remain, I am able to function like I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler6 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I am glad that things are looking up for you. Keep exercising though as weight gain can lead to other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my mental health problem is mainly cause by my lack of social.I would recover more if I have had stable friendship and good friends.I have family supports,so it's not all bad.I go to work also,though my dad always tell me to return earlier so I didn't do a lot of job in truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
