A member asked:

I have been on zyprexa 1.25mg for about 3 weeks. i am ready to come off it now will i have withdrawals from low dose and short time?

Specializes in Psychiatry

Probably not.: Anything is possible, but at such a low dose for such a short time, it is very unlikely that you will notice anything except what effects the 1.25 mg. had, if any.
