So depressed (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I reduced my olanzapine from 10mg to 5 mg a few months ago, maybe a year or so ago. It made me so depressed, but when i was on 10mg, it put me to sleep for 14 hours a day, which was excessive. When I was on the 5mg, I kept waking up through the night. I got really really really depressed when i reduced the dose to 5mg.

Now I am on 7.5mg and i've been on that for one dose. I hope it helps with both the sleep and the depression.

ugh. Life is so fucking pointless. I don't get so many things. I don't understand money. I don't understand jobs. I don't understand society. I DON'T GET THE POINT OF IT ALL. WTF. Is that an autie and/or adhd thing? or am i just a dumb shit?

I dont think that's an autie or ADHD thing to the point that all of us feel that life is pointless. Many folks do need to find their own meaning to life though

Depression has many causes and is influenced by many things. The medication you are on is quite heavy if you don't need to treat bipolar or schizophrenia. I say this as someone who doesn't have either but absolutely loved how much of the world I can ignore on seroquel: life might be more meaningful on a different medication
