To safely adjust or stop her medications, SERIN 50 (sertraline) and SIZODON PLUS (risperidone and trihexyphenidyl), you should consult a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in managing and safely tapering these specific medications to prevent withdrawal symptoms or a relapse. A psychologist provides valuable counseling and therapy but cannot prescribe or alter medication dosages. Please do not stop or reduce her doses on your own; a gradual, doctor-supervised taper is the safest way to ensure she continues to feel her best.
