My son saw his pdoc today. My son asked about lowering his dose, and the pdoc gave him this article: NIMH · Antipsychotics: Taking the Long View

The pdoc said that his chance of relapse if he went off the med was greatly increased, but on the other hand if he didn't relapse in the first 6 to 10 months he would probably do better off the med than on. So, it almost sounds like he wants to try taking him of the med.

The pdoc asked if I could be at his next appt. ???

Also, my son got his final paper back from the peer support class today. The teacher wrote all kinds of positive things on the paper and put a note at the end that he should definitely work in mental health.
