On OLIMELT. Given through food. Not given regularly. When should the medicine be discontinued and stopping it will cause any trouble?

My daughter is 27 years old. SHE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED TO TAKE OLIMELT. She does not take. WE give through food 5mg. She never leaves past. She may appear alright for few but she continuously dwells past and doubts me on every thing.  Problems she is facing for last 7 years but did not take medicines. Only for last 2 years she is on medicines but frequently these are discontinued by my wife thinking she is alright.These are started when problems are faced by my wife also from her. WE are extremely worried as we are also getting older and dont know what to do? How to discontinue medicine and when? Whether she will be alright?

I would suggest that you have a repeat appointment with your doctor. 5 mg of Olanzapine (Olimelt) is a starting dose and a higher dose may be required. It is important to be regular with the medications in her case. Even when her symptoms are controlled we may have to give a regular dose of medications to prevent recurrence of symptoms.
