Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
You can stop them one day one. first try to stop zolpidem. Take 5mg at night and keep at same dose for 2 weeks, then stop olanzapine followed by topaz. This way would not get any withdrawal symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist and do it under supervision. In case, you need my help, you can consult.
Thanks
