I have gone cold turkey off 2.5 mg Olazanpine 7 days ago. I am suffering with side effects such has heaviness, tingling in hands, fatigue. How long before some of these subside and I start to feel a bit better?

Hello, Dono! How are you doing? Has there been any improvement, yet?

How long were you taking it?

Depending on the length of time you were on it, it may take a few weeks for all the withdrawal effects to subside, though they should ease off slowly in severity.

Other withdrawal effects, as listed by the FDA, may include fever, chills, diarrhea and rebound depression.
