Just my opinion, but I think dropping the dose by 2.5mg every week is way too fast. And a drop of 2.5mg is too big. Begging for trouble. Been there, done that. Use a razor blade and get good at shaving tiny amounts off the pill.
If you would like some detailed hints on how to be safe about tapering down zyprexa, please let me know.
Please be careful. While all psych meds deserve some respect when weaning off of them, anitpsychotics in particular deserve extra heavy duty caution.
