Will Reducing The Dosage Of Fluxanol For Psychoaffective Disorder Cause Repercussions?

Hi! I have been medicated for Sychoaffective disorder for almost 30 years. I am taking Fluanxol 10 mgs. My question is that I have been reducing my dosis from 20 mgs. To 10 mgs. In a period of 15 years. I would like to reduce to 5 mgs. But I am not sure if it is not going to affect me. What are the possibilities I take 5 mgs. Every three weeks and not have some consequences? Thanks, Mirtha

Hi,.
That you have to try and see.In case you feel disturbance you can always take an additional dosage.But if you are assymptomatic now and didnt have episodes since many years its worth a try.But if you have history of frequent recurrences it may not be a wise choice
