Readers: for all antipsychotic medications, it is the standard of medical practice for the psychiatrist to attempt a gradual dose reduction after you have been free of symptoms for about a year, unless your history clearly shows that such a reduction is not advisable. If your doctor has not mentioned this after about a year in treatment, and you have not been diagnosed to have a chronic psychotic disorder, you should ask him or her about this option. All antipsychotics carry some small risk of Extrapyramidal Symptoms, and these eye twitches are only one of several possible ways the condition can manifest. Long-term treatment is only advisable or necessary for conditions that are expected to persist throughout the patient's life. There's no profit in taking risks you don't need to take.
