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

July 12, 2026··
taper update
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.
