Please note that you should not modify the dosage of medications yourself. Any changes should take place under strict medical supervision. For Olanzapine, it is recommended to reduce the dose gradually, for example by 2.5 mg every week. We wrote more about it here:

For sleep problems that may occur after stopping olanzapine, you may want to consider using less harmful medications, such as:

Melatonin – a natural hormone that regulates sleep rhythm.

Anti-anxiety medications – such as lorazepam, which can help you sleep, but should be used with caution. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/44855/lorafen-drazetki/apteki

Sleeping medications – e.g. zolpidem, which are relatively short-term and can be helpful, but also require caution in use. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/6229/zolpidem-apotex-apo-zolpin-tabletki-powlekane/apteki

In any case, before making any changes to treatment, you should consult your doctor to choose the right therapy and avoid potential interactions and side effects. If you have any further doubts, it is worth consulting your attending physician. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
