What Are The Withdrawal Effects Of Olanzapine?
Hi I am having a fare up of dystonia, I have been on Olanzapine, various doses, for 20 years. However for the past two years I have taken 5mg every other night after my dystonia started in 2013 after exploring this with a very humanistic GP. So I have been put on procyclodine 2.5mg for this flare up of dystonia. my question is what are the side effects of withdrawl after I have finished this course?
