I take olanzapine 5mg per day regularly ( for about 7 years ). But I don't have any sickness currently. Will I be able to donate blood ? If necessary I can stop taking the medicine for a while (say a week) before blood donation. Could someone please advice on this. Thank you.

you should be able to donate if you stop your medication for a week. to confirm, it is better you call blood bank at 62130626 to speak to a doctor. however, i don't know what would be the effect of stopping the medication on your health. you may want to speak to the doctor who prescribed you the medication.
