Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You did not mention about the duration of illness. In schizophrenia, duration of treatment depends upon severity of illness and past history of episode. If you are in remission for last 5 to 6 years, then you can try to off drugs after psychiatrist consultation. Never do it yourself. It could lead to relapse of symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Hi Arti,

The treatment for schizophrenia needs to be continued for at least a few years, otherwise there is a high risk of relapse. Some patients may need to be on medicines for their entire life. The decision to stop medicines depends on many factors like past history, family history, severity of the episode, personal factors etc. In my opinion, you should continue with your medicines for now and discuss these issues in detail with a good psychiatrist to decide when you can be brought off medicines.

Best wishes.
