I am taking this drug for 12 years since I was 16.
I tried 4 times to quit cold-turkey in the past 2 or 3 years. It didn't work. But only because I had a job and I went to the doctor crying who sent me to a mental hospital again so that I was put on 7.5 mg Olanzapine once more. But the headaches they keep returning and returning.
Why do you think did I try to stop the medication the first time? If Olanzapine was all fun and roses to me, do you not think that I would just keep taking it? But here we are, my body is saying this stuff is no good, so this time, while I don't have a job and nothing to lose, I will cold turkey it off the 5th time and act natural until the effect of withdrawal wears off and I start to heal from the pain that Olanzapine caused.
Seriously though, anti-psychotics are not like anti-depressants. I came off sertraline no problems no difference. But this olanzapine is much different. You can just type in "Olanzapine reddit" and read some comments, I am not alone with an awful experience. Or go here and read some reviews. Pick any illness.

It is a drug like heroin or cocaine. Do you not think I will get withdrawal symptoms from quitting this? The slow taper, where do I get 2.5 mg Olanzapine right now. Where then do I get 1.125 mg Olanzapine and so on. I don't have nerves of steel. Enough is enough.
