Olanzapine

 For the majority of my adult life, I have relied on a drug called "Olanzapine". Not sure what to say about it, but it has dulled me to a certain degree. I believe I am at the last of my medication changes, as I recently agreed to an increase in this drug with my doctor.

Sometimes it amazes me to think how much time I have left. I am middle-aged, but there is so much ahead of me. Each day seems to go by slowly or at least monotonously, and my attitude and outlook change every time there is a med change. I have reading, and I would really be distraught if I was unable to do that. Luckily, with the latest change (Olanzapine increase) I can still read, as far as I can tell.

Language is so important. I believe a continued focus on language, through reading, is what stabilizes us and keeps our mental health on top. I am currently on the 4th book of the "Last Viking" series by J.C. Duncan. It is a tale of Harald Hardrada the ruler of Norway and the events that led to him becoming such.
