Hello, I am nikita jain. I have a question. My mom is taken fluanxol 0.5 mg from last 1.5 months. Her age is 54. She wants to quit this medicine. She tried to not take it for 2 days but after that she is facing difficulty in sleeping and upset stomach. Can she stop using fluanxol 0.5 mg after taking it regularly?

She can stop fluanxol 0.5 mg after taking it regularly and a slow withdrawal is needed. Try half the dose for a week and hen half the dose and finally on alternate day and and then stop.
