Well ...: It's hard to predict exactly what symptoms may occur. However, it sounds like you're partnering with your doctor in a very smart way & taking an extremely low dose of Zyprexa (olanzapine). I'd guess that any withdrawal symptoms would be very minimal. If you take your medication at night - you might notice that you aren't as sleepy as you are normally (as Zyprexa (olanzapine) can be sedating). Hope that helps!
