Matt Edwards on Crossing Zero

I have just listened to your Metabolic Mind podcast with Dr Scher and are grateful for what you shared. My wife has been slowly tapering off Olanzapine (aka Zyprexa) for the last 7 months, she hit a bit of a bump in the road about 3 weeks ago where she had what seemed like a return of Bipolar 2 symptoms (for her; escalating agitation, mental pain, suicidal ideation). She had been tapering from 10mg initially dropping 0.5mg every 2 weeks, and later by 0.3 every 2 weeks with no issues at all. 6months into it, when she went from 1.89mg to 1.66mg (we are still very basic, cutting 10mg into 6), her mental pain increased suddenly. After less than a week of this noticeable deterioration, we made the call to increase back up to 2.5mg and take it much slower for the final leg of the tapering journey. Once she stabilises at 2.5mg (hopefully), we will certainly heed your advice of tapering by 3-10% for this last stretch. Any advice on measuring accurate reductions in the order of 3-10% of say 1.89mg?
