Do psychiatrists stop meds to ppl with scz?

is this right ?

that ppl with scz at some time of their lives

stop their AP by their therapist for sometimes then back to meds probably

or not even so they can go on life without meds

Depends on the individual

I know some people here are capable of being off APS, though I don’t know if the pdoc stop there meds.

I was off meds for over half a year, had some health issues, and went back on because of stress. Considering going off again.

I tried for 6 months. I’m on it again.

With doctor’s supervision of course!

I was on and off meds of my own which is not a good practice. But need to tell pdoc to see if I can be off meds as I am stable for past 4-5 months and med compliant. Not sure what is the parameter for going off meds. However, I am taking only one medicine which is Sizodon plus. It has not caused bad side effects so far. Would like to continue for sometime and hoping that I can be stable and come off meds in near future. It helps with concentration and being more active than on meds. But need to be fully aware about symptoms.

I halved one of my AP meds on my own back in April while taking delta 9 CBD. NOT a good idea. I’m now back on the full dose of that AP (Seroquel) and now twice the former dose of Risperdal. At least for now. I await my pdocs orders.
