Can you tell me how to convince my psychiatrist to take me off of zyprexa (olanzapine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zyprexa (olanzapine): Your psychiatrist has probably prescribed zyprexa (olanzapine) for you, for particular reasons -- such as psychosis or treatment-resistant depression. Safety stopping this medicine -- or changing to a different one -- depends on how stable your symptoms are on zyprexa (olanzapine) now. Are there side effects which concern you? You could discuss these with your doctor ; ask whether there might be suitable substitutes.
