Support Tapering Zyprexa (Olanzapine)

November 13, 2026

Trying to get off of zyprexa 2.5mg, was not able to handle getting off of it myself by doing every other day and increasing the days between doses, withdrawals are too harsh Need a specific referal to a psychatrist or doctor is open to using a compound pharmacy or that does custom liquid or capsule taper that also serves Florida by telehealth I couldn't find any on the deprescriber list on this website, I'm getting hopeless because none of the psychatrists I find are open to prescribing custom liquid or capsule taper to get off zyprexa Makes it feel almost impossible to get off zyprexa

Hi Jmedi, welcome to the TC 🙂 Hey, I completely understand. Zyprexa is my poison as well and it seems there's few of us on the forum. I also tried too fast tapers after a short stint of 2.5mg and I crashed. I then reinstated and started a slow taper, now at 0.6mg and taking my time now. You are absolutely correct in doing the liquid, you can get much more accurate and easier measured dose reductions. Here's a must read for you... https://taper.community/resources/blog/olanzapine-zyprexa-tapering-guide Best wishes 🙏

Btw, it seemed the hardest to me was between 1.5 and 0.8. For me, it's been generally getting easier since then, but there are 'waves'. The worst symptoms to be prepared for are insomnia, intrusive thoughts (they get loud), anxiety.

Hi there! You're having severe issues because you're skipping days with your doses. Keeping things consistent each day while tapering should improve things for you. 🙂 https://taper.community/resources/blog/every-other-day-dosing-tapering-risks
