I have been taking Amisant 200 once daily for schizophrenia since 2013, and I do not have any symptoms now, but my doctor advised me to continue it lifelong. Can I stop this medicine gradually, and is it safe to do so?
If you have been stable for many years, it is understandable to consider stopping the medication. However, schizophrenia often needs long-term treatment to prevent relapse. Stopping Amisant, even gradually, can increase the risk of symptoms returning. Do not reduce or stop it on your own and discuss carefully with your doctor before making any change.
