Medications stoppage can lead to relapse if symptoms which can happen after few weeks or months. If there has been a past relapse on stopping medications it is advisable to continue the same.

You should notice change after 4 to 6 weeks but full recovery may take months. After recovery you should continue to take medicines till your psychiatrist advises you to stop. Very commonly it is seen that patients stop treatment after remission and subsequently they relapse. These medicines are safe for long term use. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user,
both fluoxetine and risperidone will not show up in drug screening. Drug screening is done for other addicting drugs. These 2 are not addicting drugs. They are essential drugs. All the best for upsc selection. Continue preparing.
