I second Dinah. This is a trap that lots of people fall in to. Psych meds are not like cough syrup--you shouldn't stop taking them as soon as the symptom goes away. Many people have their recovery set back by making such a hasty decision.
TALK TO YOUR PDOC BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
Also, if I remember correctly, isn't pdoc #1 going to be back in January? Didn't you have some internal conflict about her finding out that you are taking Risp? Is this an attempt to prevent that conversation? Think abt it and be honest w/ yourself abt your motives.
BTW, if you need additional motivation...it is almost certain that pdoc1 will see your chart and know that you took Risp and did well on it. In fact, she might be cross at you for stopping it!
We care about you. Please listen to the advice we have for you.
Best,
EE
