Check either your MD: Stopping your antipsychotic medication might worsen the condition for which the medication was prescribed. You probably are having side effects to your medication which may be alleviated by a change to another antipsychotic. Discuss your symptoms with your prescribing doctor to see if a change if medication will help. Good luck.
