Dear lybrate-user,
as I have already answered, schizophrenia needs long term maintenance dose of tablets. Relapses are worse to treat. You have not had any relapse since you were continuously on tablets.

Dear Aishwarya,
You can stop taking medicines and let some family member know it. Let that member watch you for early warning signs of relapse. Restart the tablets before you become un co operative and consult the doctor.
Discuss with the family whether this is the best time to stop medicines. Relapse may come after many weeks of stopping, not necessarily immediately.
Start dieting and exercise to reduce your weight.
