Duration of treatment depends on many factors like diagnosis, how many episodes, patient compliance towards medicines, regular follow ups, and much more.... So consult ur psychiatrist regarding drowsiness and ask him regarding duration of treatment too. Chances of relapse  are high if u stop Medicine in between.

Schizophrenia medicines should be continued without any break and as per prescription . Follow up with your psychiatrist and discuss your issues like drowsiness. Other options are available like change in medicines or dosage. You may get a second opinion from another psychiatrist as well.
