  1. I recently have been working on cleansing my system. i was on several pscyh drugs over the years but olanzapine was hell on steroids. i am on my third year of symptoms. the term 'mad as a hatter' comes from chronic mercury exposure while making hats. looking back on my insanity during withdrawal i have to consider my own mercury exposure and its role in my withdrawal symptoms. while discontinuing olanzapine, i developed verbal tics and jerking movements, similar to tourettes syndrome. there is an article on pubmed of a case from olanzapine withdrawal causing tics. ironically, olanzapine is used to treat tics. but eli lily pushes zyprexa on everyone including the elderly and children so thats no surprise. there also seems to be a link between mercury and tourettes and i have five 'silver fillings' in my mouth' and looking back i think my mental health problems began shortly after putting them in. some have been in for almost 20 years now. i don't do sugar or soft drinks anymore but a coke used to make me sick when i was peaking during withdrawal. i would imagine that the hfcs, carbonation, and aluminum from the can combined with acid hitting a mouth full of mercury sounds like a recipe for disaster. so no wonder it made me sick. i have been doing a cleanse and was getting good results for the most part. mostly was trying to deal with parasites and put some the EBV/CFS in its place that i got last summer. i realized too late that i was also mobilizing mercury without a binder in my gut. i was using acetyl cytseine (NAC) and MSM both sulfur based supplements. also organic vitamin c powder, b12 and glutathione. i was planning on removing metals at some point but havent done so. most of the supplements i take can mobilize mercury i realized as they are for detoxing. if you mobilize mercury without a binder you can redistribute it around tissues, organs and brain. so no good. you can get it out but sometimes organ damage can be very long lasting and even permanent. i kind of wish i wouldn't have flushed all that candida down the toilet now bc it was probably at least feeding on my mercury. itll grow back im sure lol. oh boy love how us amateurs have to figure this stuff out on our own. but i seem to have myriad problems happening that are uncharted territory for most steroid and antibiotic GPs. my point of all this is i think there might be a link between mercury exposure and severity of withdrawal. olanzapine isn't easy for anyone and any of them can be hard but withdrawal symptoms and mercury toxicity are almost exactly the same. together i would imagine to be quite synergistic. i have also noticed that my nerve pain has gotten more severe and my kidneys are a little tender in addition to my tics getting worse. but its only been a short time and my symptoms arent that much more severe. so i wonder how much my mercury exposure is preventing me from becoming fully well and exacerbating my withdrawal symptoms or visa versa. i am making plans to get them removed from a biological dentist because you don't want to use a regular dentist. so if you haven't started tapering or are stable and have fillings in you might want to get those out and do a several months long mercury cleanup. it may make your life a lot easier and prevent brain damage. i really have felt brain damaged but i continue to improve but i still have plenty of symptoms. i know im ready for the burning hot nerve pain to be over though and the tics and pretty much all of it to be over. still one more drug to quit to boot. Lord give me strength. anyhow i thought it might be an interesting link to consider in all of this withdrawal business. i would be pretty apprehensive about fish oil myself and never felt super great about taking it but thats just me personally. cheers and God bless.
