Hello
Welcome to HCM

You are on Sodium Valproate 1000 mg and Qutiapine 100 mg since July 2013. You misbehaved with a girl prior to that and extreme pressure of papers caused disease to get precipitated. As you are on these medications and want to stop the medicine. I would advise you to consult your psychiatrist regarding tapering of drugs as he has seen your clinical case from beginning. The medicines are gradually tapered over 6-8 weeks. Usually the dose is decreased gradually, about 25% every 2 weeks and then stopped completely at about 8 weeks. In this way the withdrawal doesnt occur and individual can be weaned off completely.

Thanks, hope this helps you
