i've noticed this drug has helped me in my thoughts, i can stay stable, but really i don't think im manic, or anything it was mainly i was add but i was put on this med many years ago, and i noticed the stablity it gave, it does make things go slower but in way that was good....

Excellent advice. I follow a "one reduction of 2.5 mg every 3 months of stability" routine.
So i need to be stable at least 3 months before i reduce it again. So currently, i am on 12.5mg.

yea but even if i go down to 10mg, the effect is there but it's less potent, and i start to have shakeyness......
yea if i totally discontinue it alone, ill do fine for about 3-4 days and then my nuero's start changing due to it not being there, and it results in irritibility, over talkative, i think faster but then it get's into anxiety
in way i think my body did become dependent on zyprexa after years.....

I'm having good results with 13mg olanzapine. I also added CBD oil. Very good mix!

I think the pleasant effects of MJ are based on its CBD content. If you have THC only you go NUTS.

Yes thc only would make me go nuts. I've found that a equal mix of THC and CBD cancels out the nuts. But CBD is probably the best for not going nuts.
Since starting the CBD I cut down a 1/3 of my zyprexa. I feel better on the mix than one or the other.
