Olanzapine withdrawals and extreme nausea

Posted , 4 users are following.

Going on nine weeks being off Olanzapine and the nausea is unbearable and almost debilitating. Anyone know how long this will last and any suggestion on what I can do? Psychiatrist does not believe I van still be having withdrawls and I cannot get any help from anyone. If you are thinking about going on this. nasty drug please think really hard about it!

    HI From my own "Hell" experience of withdrawal symptoms I agree that drug is evil! It makes me so angry it's allowed to be prescribed!

    Everyone is different to their reactions but it took me many months to fully be free of all the ghastly withdrawal symptons even resulting me in hospital several times

    It turned me upside down

    Stick with it and go talk to a good health food store as they may be able to recommend something for yr chronic nausea

    Hope things subside soon😊
