> you`re probably still pissed at me for my thoughts on derealization,
No, not at all, I'm grateful you have shared your experience with me.
but you asked so i will say something as i have extensive experience on this drug.
I'm glad you say things the way you see 'em - not many people do these days!

> it made me irritable as hell, mainly just on the first day, and was quite sedating. it did nothing for derealization to me at all.it was pretty good for OCD/anxiety
This is getting me excited!
and ODD/hyperactivity, didn`t do a whole lot for tics, and like a lot of people on it i became more depressed. withdrawal is a *real* bitch, too--anxiety, vommitting, goose-bumps, very bad irritability, and most people experience that as well. it also gives many people nightmares.

> ~AAHow sedate did it make you? So, in your opinion would you reccomend Olanzapine over it? Even with risk (however small) for EPS?
Take Care,
