Very interesting. Nearly a 30 percent chance of remaining relapse free over the 118 days.

Ha, I relapsed after 2yrs, needed hospitalization but most of those years I had symptoms that slowly got worse until getting hospitalized.

Any way you look at it the chances of relapse a very high. I managed five months of high functioning and normalcy, but had a sudden relapse.
I’ve lowered my dose to 3.75 mg Olanzapine over the past three days and have seen massive improvements and a drop in negative symptoms.

Have now gone back up to 5mg as I wish to give it more time and go with pdr approval in the future.

How do you get that dose? Thers no 3.75mg pills afaik.

Use a pill cutter on a 7.5. I have a months supply of them left over from my last reduction.

In my case onset of symptoms and loss of insight was rapid.
