Brief Answer:
Can be a symptom of mania

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Olanzapine is an antipsychotic and can be used to treat different mental health issues. Stopping it abruptly may cause many side effects but not talking too much.
So non stop talking isn't a side effect of withdrawal.
Olanzapine can be used to treat mania and if this is the cause you have been using it starting to talk non stop may be a symptom of mania episode restarting.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
