A member asked:
Hi dr . i have been on olanzapine for three months and have tapered down to 2.5 mg/day now. should i feel any withdrawal effects once off to 0mg/day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slow taper over a: period of 6-8 weeks is good observing for any return of symptoms for which the olanzapine was prescribed. Withdraw under the supervision of your prescriber. Some may experience nausea or diarrhea during withdrawal, most do not. If uncertain consult your prescriber who will assist in determining management. Best regards for good health.
