    HI

    Everyone responds differently to starting and tapering off medication!

    My own experience with stopping Olanzepine cold turkey I would not advise as I went through utter hell of withdrawal symptoms for months

    It's a drug that must be tapered off very carefully and slowly and would seek professional advice on doing so

    All the best😊
