Yes.: You can safely stop it and most people will have no problems. To be extra careful you can break the tablet in half and take a half tablet for 2 days and stop.

Yes but . . .: While your dose is low, your question is best addressed & answered by your prescribing physician as it depends upon why antipsychotic was prescribed and therefore whether indication has resolved or is chronic & ongoing. For instance, if it was prescribed for insomnia, there are many other options. However, if it was prescribed for schizophrenia, then will need to consider replacement w/another med
