No issue: zyprexa (olanzapine) does not typically cause any symptoms upon discontinuation. at a dose of 1.25mg/day you can simply stop the medicine.

Low dose: Presumably you have found no benefit. 2.5 mg is a very low dose, perhaps too low to work. There are not withdrawal problems associated with this medicine. But it is curious that you are not asking your question of the prescribing doctor. You should be working with the prescribing doctor.
