A member asked:

Been on zyprexa (olanzapine) 2.5mg for about a month. doctor told me i can stop cold turkey, is this true or will there be withdrawals ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Withdrawal unlikely: Your Zyprexa (olanzapine) dose is very small. Follow-up appointments with your doctor are important to make sure symptoms for which you've taken Zyprexa (olanzapine) don't recur. Hope this helps.
