A member asked:
Is 30mg of zyprexa (olanzapine) considered an overdose for an adult?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not as a one time: Typical doses of zyprexa (olanzapine) are 2.5 to 20 mg a day. A one time dose of 30 mg, without other medication or substances, is not likely to cause too much damage other than severe sleepiness.
