A member asked:
Do antipsychotics stop working and return you to your original state before medications when discontinued? i am definitely not the same as pre medicat
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: No one and no disease is the same after being on medication, most of medical illnesses have no curative solutions, rather controlling and managing ones. I.E someone with hi blood pressure can't stop his meds and assume he will be the same . Psychopharmacology has advanced significantly and your doctor can work with you so you get the best results with the least possible side effects.
