Start of Final Olanzapine (Zyprexa) journey - Tapering since 2024 from 30mg, now at 7.5mg

July 12, 2026··

Posted in:Success Stories Zyprexa (Olanzapine)

Currently fully stable. Done with abilify taper for few years to focus getting rid of this horrendous drug. Advanced plan is ready with proper holds and % variations. Slow and steady is the way to go. Might taper until 2031 roughly if all goes to plan. Final taper starts in September 2026. I hope it wont be hell. Will update constantly as the final journey starts. Wish me best of luck.
