What Are The After Effects Of Stopping Zyprexa?

Hi... I m 56 and have been taking Zyprexa 2.5mg since 1998. The diagnostic then was psychotic episodes. Hospitalized for 2 weeks. Relapse 1 year later after ceasing Zyprexa. I was wondering if 15 years later, I could very gradually try to cease Zyprexa since I m on a very minime dose? I asked my family doctor and he sees no problem trying. My main concern is to differenciate between withdrawing symptoms and a relapse. Thand-you for your advice/suggestions.
