Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the withdrawal effects of Zyprexa (Olanzepine) usually involve:
- Insomnia
- Agitation
- Delusions
- Hallucinations
- Recurrent bipolar symptoms as mania or depression
The excess salivation usually relate to excess of cholinergic drive rather than withdrawal of the Zyprexa.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
