Off of zyprexa/olanzapine, when can I trip again?

Hello, not sure if this is the best place to post this. I am off olanzapine 5mg (I didn't take it for psychosis, but for sleep, which was really stupid)...I'm wondering if anyone knows how long I have to be off of it for before I can trip on shrooms again. Does anyone have any experience having been on antipsychotics and being able to trip beautifully again? If so what was your drug, dose, and how long were you off of it for? Thanks all

I was on olanzapine for a while. great for sleep. But i never needed much help with sleep.(do reality checks with friends if you trip often. Delusional thought gets weird when you trip multiple times per week without bouncing your thoughts off someone else. Ideas keep building.
When I was in the hospital last year they put me on olanzapine and some other day time drug.
Made my thoughts difficult. Like I couldn't imagine anymore.
And I was still anxious as shit all the time.
I've been off meds for a long while thought got better. Anxiety did not get worse.
Should be good to trip a couple weeks after you discontinue completely.
This is based off zero science. Just my own very limited experience of messing with my meds and trying to trip.

Thanks for your reply - how much olanzapine were you on, and for how long? How long did it take for you to be able to trip again?

10mg olanzapine 2mg aripiprazole(abilify?)
Mmm actually not a very good source for this info. My trips have been weird and painful for a long time from trying to trip on huge doses while on brain pills.
In hindsight I should have let my brain reset after cessation. But instead I kept trying to brute force myself into a trip.
And now being high on mushrooms or attempting dmt feels aweful and in no way meaningful:(
Take your time.
It could also be your current mental state or something. Stopping those meds can make things weird and you won't necessarily know or feel how it affects you.

I think that's the best gauge in OP's case. It has a long half life but nothing too crazy, so if you've been off it for more than a week it should be out of your brain. Since it's an antipsychotic though stopping it might make your thoughts and mental state weird for awhile, which can definitely mess with a trip.
Olanzapine does act on 5HT2A receptors, so it may alter the dosing while your receptors "reset". It could be possible that that something like 5gs taken shortly after stopping it could be less intense than an eighth a month or two later, idk though and it's never an exact science. One plus side is it should be a decent trip killer to have around for emergencies if needed

I've heard of it working well, I stick with keeping Trazodone and ativan on hand (only the amount I'd need) though since I've seen them work their magic first hand multiple times. Luckily never had to abort a trip myself, just having the peace of mind that they're there does a lot to keep the monsters at bay for me though
