Olanzapine withdrawal

Posted , 1 user is following.

I withdrew from 5mg olanzapine successfully over 10 weeks. I tapered 10%. After 1 year off it, i had a relapse and went back on olanzapine. Now my physician is expecting that i will drop 50% for 2 weeks and than stop completely. Is this advisable? Have others experienced this type of withdrawal process with success?
