Before stopping the drug you will have to be evaluated throughly by the psychiatrist. The plan to stop the medicines depends on many factors - including your symptoms, improvement, previous history of relapse, side effects and patient preference. However the medicine will be tapered very very slowly and stopped by an experienced psychiatrist after balancing out pros and cons .
Next Steps
Seek a consult with a psychiatrist.
Health Tips
Refrain from playing around with the dosage on your own.
