Hi,
Yes it should be stopped if you suspect the symptoms coming after taking the dose however a possibility of missing last dose may have precipitated the symptoms already and current dose is inadequate to control that. It's better to get a psychiatrist review as soon as possible.
Wishing him a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
