Hi, I'm NathanW

Been on Olanzapine for mild Schizophrenia for roughly 18 years. Started reducing from 10mg on 15th of Sept 2026 by going to 7.5mg. Just looking for a small amount of added support for successful tapering and some added insight my psychiatrist may not be giving me.

Zyprexa โ€” 10mg โ€” 18 years, 4 months โ€” actively tapering

Hi @NathanW, welcome to Taper Community. Is there anything in particular you need help with? We'll try to help the best we can. Peer-support communities like this one are so valuable since they help us feel validated and supported. Most medical professionals are not trained to deal with deprescribing and withdrawal-related issues. Change is slowly happening, but still more work needs to be done. We're glad to have you with us and look forward to supporting you as you taper off Olanzapine! https://taper.community/drugs/zyprexa https://taper.community/resources/blog/olanzapine-zyprexa-tapering-guide https://taper.community/forums/zyprexa Catina ๐Ÿ’œ

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
