I would recommend olanzapine for anyone who has constantly ruminating thoughts and strong negative labile emotions. Plus for minor psychotic thinking. I had all the above and the olanzapine has helped with them.
I would recommend Nardil as it has reduced my Social Anxiety and gives me more good days than bad.
Together the medication has given me stability, I used to think I suffered from Borderline personality as I shared some of the symptoms - inability to regulate my emotional reactions, extremes of 'I hate you don't leave me', in my relationship (Now ex) and some other stuff I can't remember off hand.
If I had to say the best thing, although there are many, it is the relative emotional stability I experience, and this makes me dislike myself less. The reduction in SA means I don't feel as neurotic around people, which is a bonus. And of course, the antidepressant effect which means I don't wake up with a heavy chest and feeling of doom, I don't struggle through my day with constantly fluctuating negative feelings.
I did post a 'success story' but since that posting I realise the black dog hasn't entirely left me and I do still have bad hours and days, but not stretching into a constant dysthymic and dysphoric state.
