thankyou so much!! my dad has recently come off olanzapine. he was taking it for about 2 years and this is the third time the doctor has tried to take him off it. the recommendation was to half the dose for 1 week (from 10mg to 5mg) then to stop taking all together. he has done this and is now going through hell!!! he is suffering from extreme anxiety all the time, is not really eating and has turned to alcohol. his gp advised he would get through it...eventually!!! any ideas of what to do?
