Stop now if desired: This is not one of the meds that must be tapered. I would stop for now & discuss the side effects with his doc.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if your son has a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Help him stay safe & hopeful to elevate his immune system.
