How Can I Taper The Dose Of Oleanz Dosage?
How do i taper the dose of oleanz 2.5mg? I have been taking zosert 100mg and oleanz 2.5mg from past 5 years. I have been successful in tapering zosert to 50mg and oleanz to half of 2.5mg. But getting off from oleanz has been difficult for me if i reduce oleanz dose further. How do i get rid of oleanz? Hope to receive your response. thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
It is important to know that zosert and oleanz are non addictive medicines. You are having recurrence of your psychological problem after tapering doses of oleanz, which can be dangerous too.
To reach any drug related detailed history and mental status examination is necessary. It will be better to take supervised treatment, so that changes can be made.
Wish you Good Health and all the best.
