It is an anti-psychotic medication used to treat bi-polar patients and is also used in treating schizophrenia.
It is highly recommended to not stop taking medications of this nature, even if the patient believes everything is "OK". Doing so may cause a re-occurrence of symptoms the med is prescribed for.

You should already know the answer if you are taking the medication. Before stopping any medication though, you should talk to your doctor. Zyprexa is an anti-psychotic that is used to treat several different symptoms. I believe most frequently it is used to treat bipolar disorder as well as schizophrenia although it works on a grander scale than just those two disorders. Check out the website below. It has more indepth info on it.
