HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The antipsychiatric drugs have lot of side effects but does not cause any harm to the patients those who are taking these drugs the reason is because they are in a need of such drugs because of their bad health, I would advise you to control your thought stop thinking and having such bad ideas, it is not true at all that the stopping of drug can cause a coma, you must have been told such, because of good compliance of drug and nothing else, and you took it wrongly, have nice day.
