A member asked:
Do i need to taper off zyprexa or can i stop it all together at once. i seem to not get withdrawal from zyprexa but after one week i felt withdrawal?

Medication treatment: is based on the individual and must be guided by prescriber. It is best to taper medications, including zyprexa, to minimize any possible withdrawal effects, watch for return of target symptoms, and permit the body to gradually adjust to the change. Best regards for relief.
