I am Steve Wallis, currently a political prisoner in a psychiatric ward in Manchester, England. I was 'treated' with olanzapine for about a year. For more information about myself, including my views about socialism and conspiracies, visit my home page: www.stevewallis.org.

There are two main categories of patients detained on psychiatric wards - those diagnosed with schizophrenia (usually paranoid schizophrenia) and those diagnosed with depression (usually manic depression, which is also known as bi-polar disorder). It is well known that there are conspiratorial organisations (like MI5 and the CIA but some much more secret) acting below the surface of society. If they act against you and you tell a psychiatrist this, you will probably be diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. You will be given mind-altering anti-psychotic drugs to make you a less effective political activist (by slowing your brain down to compensate and making you drowsy).

Olanzapine (brand name Zyprexa) is the worst anti-psychotic drug currently available because it makes you irrationally pessimistic.

Patients suffering from depression may also try to fight back against the capitalist system because they find life intolerable, so they are also given drugs to try to stop this from happening. Incredibly, olanzapine is given to some patients suffering from depression. This is likely to make them more depressed and at risk from self harm or even suicide.

I recognise that it may be better for some people who are already being prescribed olanzapine to stay on the drug due to withdrawal symptoms, but this group (mailing list) is intended to unite people around the world who are opposed to olanzapine being given to new patients.
