Getting off olanzapine
So my mother has been on olanzapine 2.5mg since the last 5 months now. And my psychiatrist is gonna tell her to be on that for a few more months most probably. Now I'm worried about the withdrawal symptoms when we'll try to get her off the medicine since it has been so many months that she's taking that medicine.
