Angelique is right, psychiatrists taper meds when you are quitting this can take 6 months or longer depending on the dose that you are on. As far as going off I can't say I know anyone who has remained stable off the meds----I lasted 9 months without symptoms and had to go back on. Ask yourself if you would rather be psychotic or whether you would rather have the anxiety and restlessness that you have now.
