It's just my opinion but it's far more dangerous to use pills as 'maintenance' therapy than seeing how things go on as little medication as possible.

I agree about the long term dangers with over medication. On the other hand, some people really do need to be medicated if they want to stay out of the hospital or suffer needlessly.
Olanzapine can be very sedating too. Some people, like myself, use it as basically a sleeping pill when I start to become destabilized, on top of my regular antipsychotic, Rexulti. I would wonder about the dosing but also about just switching it out for another antipsychotic that is less sedating and has less long term side effects too.
