Olanzapine. I was rather distraught that it worked so well after the psychiatrist suggested it. I mean, I'm not psychotic, so why the anti-psychotic? They used to call them "major tranquilizers" back in the day. And wow yeah. The edge is softened. The anger dissipates. Also the deeper significance to things, the untied threads that leave my mind racing, reaching for signs, signs which point to doom mostly these days, that gets significantly quieted too. I now get why people who have to take these drugs every day describe them as turning them into "zombies". But as a practical tool oh I don't know what I would have done this winter without it some nights.
