Coming off 2.5mg of olanzapine.

I would love to have never taken this pill too late now I got it for anxiety think he was wrong to give it to me for that

Coming off. Olanzapine 2.5 been on it again one year tapered down since August nown on o. 6 since last week after one month will Goe to an eight for a month then alternate for a month then off

I was on 10 mg of Olanzapine ,and I'm not kidding after a month of coming off that drug I lost 8 kg. I slimmed to 3XL Jacket size 2XL ,and now I can't eat a lot of food now ,and drink a lot of coffee any more. I used to drink 4 cups of coffee daily ,but I can't even drink more than two cups of coffee any more. Am I the only one?

after a couple of months on 10mg, i came down to 2.5 for a couple of weeks, then quit.

on the second day i was starting to feel dizzy and nauseous.

after 2 weeks It got worse. at least the nausea. and on the 3rd week i was feeling better.

on week 4, I was extremely nauseous, and started to experience some stomach/backpain. I can't really locate the pain because I feel so nauseous all the time anyway.

now I'm on week 5, and it doesn't seem to get any better.

during all of these weeks, I have had multiple anxiety attacks, trouble sleeping and feel stressed most of the time.

if I didn't feel like puking every moment I'm awake, then this wouldn't be too bad, but at this point it's getting unbearable.

what's getting me through it, is reading the other comments, knowing I'm not the only one dealing with it and that it will go over.

You have to battle on cut it down very slowly it has terrible side effects cause me heart problems hope it goes away I've been off it 3 months and was right down to an eight for weeks and still effects sleep get some herbal stuff anything but come off this horrible drug cardioligst said it gives palpatitons good luck

I wish you all the best. It sounds like a good idea, i take 15mg of olanzapine and its a powerful drug that helps me sleep and oversleep. I can sleep 10 hours easily when taking olanzapine. All the best i do this from time to time, to ease the pressure of the drug. I take a lower dosage.
