Specializes in Psychiatry

Zyprexa (olanzapine): I understand your worry about withdrawal symptoms Zyprexa is for treatment of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Taking i 5mg. for 3 nights does not pose risk of withdrawal See your Psychiatrist to inform how your symptoms are interfering with your functioning. Ask him your diagnosis whether you have Schizophrenia, or Bipolar Disorder, if you need Zyprexa, (olanzapine) any other medication or intensive Therapy
