Introduction
After taking blonanserin, even if hallucinations are absent, you should not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor; the decision must be made following a medical evaluation. Blonanserin is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia. Even in the absence of hallucinations, discontinuing the drug abruptly may lead to relapse or worsening of symptoms, especially if other symptoms such as paranoia, emotional apathy, and social impairment have not fully resolved or if there is a risk of recurrence.
Generally, even if hallucinations are absent, patients should not discontinue brotizolam on their own after taking it; the decision must be made following a doctor's evaluation. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Brotizolam is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia. Even in the absence of hallucinations, discontinuing the medication without medical advice may lead to relapse or worsening of symptoms if other symptoms—such as suspicion, emotional blunting, and social impairment—have not fully resolved or if there remains a risk of recurrence.
If a patient’s condition has remained stable for several months and the doctor evaluates that the illness is well-controlled with no signs of relapse, tapering off the medication under medical supervision may be considered. The dose reduction process should be gradual to avoid withdrawal symptoms caused by abrupt discontinuation.
During the discontinuation period, close monitoring of symptoms is essential. If sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations, or recurrence of previous symptoms occur, the doctor should be contacted immediately to adjust the treatment plan, avoiding self-management that could delay proper care.
