Has anyone stopped olanzapine (10mg) cold turkey and had no side effects?

Who prescribes it at the moment?
I would discuss your plans with whoever manages things at the moment.

I stopped cold turkey and went into psychosis. I thought I could fly and nearly died. Please be careful, I don't know anything about buying it abroad. What's your situation?

MH team discharged me saying I don’t need it and think I made up the voices/angels I see. So I started it myself with leftover tablets. Voices gone, feel incredible but am running out.

Can you use the money you would spend on it to see a psychiatrist who can prescribe?

No that would be much more money, as it is, the money buying online is coming from our food budget.
