Talk to General Physician on What Will Happen If I Stop Taking Risp 2mg & Kempro 5mg Cold Turkey?

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 25 years old, Lahore

I have been taking Risp 2mg (Risperidone) & Kempro 5mg for about 2 years now. It was initially prescribed for Bipolar Disorder but I'm not sure If I have Bipolar or not.

Currently I don't have any symptoms and now I want to stop taking these drugs. Can I quit these drugs cold turkey?

I have browsed online and some people say it can be stopped but some say it needs to be tapered off.

How can I stop these drugs?

you need proper psychiatric evaluation dear before stopping as Bipolar disorder needs medication and it shoud be tappered off slowly because when u are on mediactions u ll assume that u are well and having no symptoms as soon as you stop it symptoms will arise again , i saw many patients doing the same and after that they paid alot so consult you psychiatrist please
